Westerly 61.1 is a celebration of Indigenous writing and culture. Guest edited by writer and researcher Stephen Kinnane, it features some of Australia’s most influential and award-winning Indigenous writers and artists.

As guest editor, Stephen describes the issue as a “testament to the authors, both those solicited and those who submitted, who have put hours of work into their pieces”. Within, you will find the work of 51 writers from right across the country, notably including Kim Scott, Tara June Winch, Melissa Lucashenko, Bruce Pascoe and Wayne Barker, as well as emerging authors Paul Collis and Alison Whittaker, artwork by celebrated Noongar artist Bella Kelly, and pieces from the Berndt Museum collection.
