History of the Grieve Project

Since 2013, Hunter Writers Centre and our wonderful partner-sponsors have supported this publishing opportunity for first-time and published writers.

Visit the dedicated Grieve Project website 
where you can read wonderful works and purchase past anthologies.

The competition opens February 14 each year 
and the anthology of selected works is launched in August ~ Grief Awareness month.

Our judges work in either the grief and loss industries 
or are published writers. Some are both.

The prizes are kindly donated by 
not-for-profit organisations, businesses, 
and individuals working grief and loss industries.

Would you like to donate a prize 
in memory of a loved one or colleague?
