2024: Blood & Bone

The UTS Writers' Anthology: Blood & Bone features the best new fiction, non-fiction and poetry from the University of Technology Sydney's Creative Writing program.

Ranging across subject matter as diverse as an AI-generated Barack Obama, vampires, trampolines, gardens and cosmetic surgery, the pieces in this collection cut to the bone and speak to the heart.

There is breath in every one of these pieces, life humming beneath the page.

Of the many anthologies coming out of university writing programs, the annual UTS collection has always been the standout.

The foreword to Blood & Bone was penned by sydney khoo, author of The Spider and Her Demons. Blood & Bone is the product of considerable hard work and commitment from the author contributors, the student-led editorial committee, UTS staff and the team at Brio Books.
