The first issue was launched at the Sydney Writers' Festival on May 28th. The anthology was edited by Sweatshop Director, Dr Michael Mohammed Ahmad, and Sweatshop Manager, Winnie Dunn.
Award-winning Aboriginal author Ellen van Neerven worked on the publication as Editor for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content.
"Sweatshop was tired of waiting to see more cultural diversity in mainstream Australian literature and media, so we decided to create The Big Black Thing," says Dr Ahmad.
"This new literary series gives voice to some of Western Sydney's most exciting writers from culturally diverse backgrounds."
