Writing The Heroine was established in 2018 with our first Heroines Anthology, an anthology of writing by women about women, and the inaugural Heroines Festival, a full-day program of women writers who reclaim women’s histories. Since then Writing The Heroines has published five anthologies of writing, established a women’s writing prize, presented more festivals, author-speaking events, writing masterclasses, workshops and international writing retreats, all focused on supporting and showcasing women writers.
Writing The Heroine has a particular interest in women’s history and mythology-inspired works: from fairytale to folklore, old texts, works poetically renewed, reimagined, adapted or recreated, and speculative fiction.
