Welcome to Hatch—a site for Western Sydney University undergraduate critical and creative writers!
The site also houses the Hatch anthology series that was first created and launched in Spring 2021 with the enthusiasm and spirit of six members of the WSU Writers’ Group Project. Each member worked tirelessly through difficult circumstances—university study and assessments, personal and work commitments—to produce new fiction for the inaugural edition of the anthology. This site and the anthology is a nod back to their efforts and has now become a space for all new and emerging creative and critical undergraduate writers at WSU.

Hatch is an initiative of the WSU undergraduate Writers’ Group Project and is supported by the Writing and Society Research Centre at Western Sydney University.
Hatch acknowledges the traditional custodians of this land on which this site has hatched and pays respect to their Elders past, present, and future.
