Following the recent decision by the State Library of Queensland to rescind a Fellowship from First Nations writer Karen Wyld (who now publishes under the name KA Ren Wyld), several judges for the Queensland Literary Awards have resigned in protest over the Library’s decision.
According to Guardian Australia, writers Evelyn Araluen, Jeanine Leane, Nigel Featherstone and Luke Patterson have stepped down from their judging duties for the Queensland Literary Awards. Other judges may have resigned but did so anonymously.
