Stella is excited to announce the next iteration of Stella Day Out in Melbourne.
Local readers and writers will have the chance to hear directly from Stella Prize-listed writer Laura Elizabeth Woollett as she discusses her craft.
Laura Elizabeth Woollett is the author of a short story collection, two novels, and the novel-in-stories West Girls, which was long-listed for the 2024 Stella Prize. Born and raised in Boorloo/ Perth, she now lives in Naarm/ Melbourne. She has been the recipient of numerous grants and fellowships, most recently a 2025 Keesing Studio Residency at the Cité Internationale Des Arts in Paris. Hell Days: into the inferno of hormonal mood disorder is her nonfiction debut.
This will be a vibrant day of exciting conversation and big ideas, celebrating some of the best new Australian writing, hosted at Quest Collingwood.
