Applications for our Creative Producer Internship Program are now open. Ahead of the 2018 festival, we spoke to some past interns about their experienced in the role, and what they've done in the meantime.

There’s been a lot of discussion around the culture of unpaid internships in the creative industries, so we asked Jack Kenchington-Evans, Director of Interns Australia, for his thoughts on the matter.

When is it okay and when it crossing a line? We spoke to some arts professionals who got their starts as interns and volunteers.

"Being surrounded by so many talented people, both writers and festival staff, was incredibly inspiring. That's the power of a festival like EWF - and the best bit is that as a Creative Producer you are an integral part of making it happen."

We spoke to Jes Layton, one of our fantastic Creative Producers from EWF16, about what it was like to be a part of the Emerging Writers’ Festival.

It’s that time of the year again and we are looking for amazing individuals to undertake our unique internship program – our awesome Creative Producers!
