Express Media is honoured to present The Kat Muscat Fellowship, offering support and development for a young writer or editor.
The annual Kat Muscat Fellowship offers professional development up to the value of $3,000 for an editorial project or work of writing by a young person of a marginalised gender (this includes cisgender female, transgender male, non-binary, genderqueer etc). Kat’s writing embodied her personal mantra of feminism, empathy and defiance, and each year the recipient of the fellowship is asked to take up her notion of challenge: exploring bold subjects, thinking deeply and critically about the world and the culture we consume, and reflecting and building on the craft of writing or editing.
Applicants must be a person of a marginalised gender (this includes cisgender female, transgender male, non-binary, genderqueer etc) and aged between 16 to 30 at the commencement of the Fellowship. The Kat Muscat Fellow is selected by the Custodial Committee of The Kat Muscat Legacy Projects, which includes members of Express Media’s board and staff, the Muscat family and appointed community members.
The Kat Muscat Fellowship is made possible through the generous support of our community. Please follow the link below to GiveNow to make a one-off or regular recurring donation to support the development of empathetic and defiant young writers and editors. All donations above $2.00 are tax deductible (minimum donation on GiveNow is $5).
