The Writers on Writers series consists of eleven short essay books published between 2017 and 2022. Each book pairs an Australian author with a subject author, resulting in personal and critical portraits of figures like Patrick White, Shirley Hazzard, Thomas Keneally, and Tim Winton. The series is published by Black Inc. and offers readers an intimate look at how writers read and respond to each other’s work.
The books are brief by design, more extended essays than full-length studies. Topics range from Kate Jennings and John Marsden to Robyn Davidson and Beverley Farmer, covering a broad cross-section of Australian literary culture.
