UQP and The University of Queensland’s School of Communications and Arts are pleased to announce that Mary Parker is the recipient of the 2026 UQP Writing Mentorship Prize.

The UQP Writing Mentorship was established to share knowledge, nurture creativity and develop culturally important stories, and is open to current students and recent graduates of UQ postgraduate writing programs.

Mary will receive editorial support and advice from the UQP team to develop her fictional work in progress, as well as mentoring from UQP Managing Editor Jacqueline Blanchard on her manuscript.

Applications for the 2027 mentorship will open mid-2027.
