SIGHT LINES: 2014 UTS WRITERS’ ANTHOLOGY
‘Of the many anthologies coming out of university writing programs, the annual UTS collection has always been the standout.’ Kerryn Goldsworthy, The Sydney Morning Herald
The UTS Writers’ Anthology is an annual publication produced by the University of Technology, Sydney. Students from the undergraduate, postgraduate and research programs submit their work anonymously, and a student editorial committee selects and edits the Anthology over a period of four months. In 2014, from over 300 submissions, the committee selected 31 outstanding pieces.
Over the years the Anthology has featured UTS alumni who have gone on to make names for themselves as authors. Gillian Mears, Bernard Cohen, Jill Jones, MTC Cronin, David Astle and Arabella Edge, along with more recent emerging authors such as P.M. Newton, Clinton Caward, Julie Chevalier and Isabelle Li, have all had early or indeed their first publications here.
In addition, the Anthology has been supported by forewords from leading writers such as James Bradley, Delia Falconer, Nam Le and Fiona McGregor — many of whom have been involved with the UTS creative writing program, and who have acknowledged the outstanding talent of its students. In 2014 the Anthology features a foreword by the acclaimed author of Burial Rites, Hannah Kent.
The 28th UTS Writers’ Anthology, Sight Lines, is a not-to-be missed event on the Australian literary calendar.

Well as a UTS creative writing student of course I can only have nice things to say about the talents of my peers! I love that UTS has given aspiring writers the anthology as a platform to ignite their writing careers, and I especially admire how esteemed the publication has become as a result. Sight Lines showcases only a sample of the wonderful ability UTS students have to offer.
The 3 star rating isn't a proper rating. While I loved some pieces I didn't really connect as well to others so I figured rating wise I'd just settle half way.
If your looking for an overview of the book I recommend you read Hannah Kent's foreward first. My particular favourite quote: "Literature is not limited in its usefulness and scope. Emerging writers bring with them the unique perspectives and possibilities." Congratulations to all the students published.
