  WELCOME TO EXPRESS MEDIA

Express Media creates quality literary arts and media opportunities for young and emerging artists.

We present an annual program of special events, workshops, exhibitions and artistic projects throughout the year. Our flagship project is Voiceworks magazine. Each year we partner with the Victorian Writers' Centre to present the Emerging Writers' Festival.

The 2007 John Marsden Award, a fiction prize for young Australian writers founded by our Patron, will open in May. Read the 2006 winners' work, or find it in Voiceworks #67 "Zero."
