Quest Apartment Hotels has inked a three-year partnership with Stella, an organisation celebrating Australian women writers.
The organisation’s flagship annual literary prize, The Stella Prize, alongside year-round initiatives, tackles gender bias in publishing and expands readership for diverse Australian voices.
As a Platinum Sponsor, Quest Apartment Hotels will contribute $50,000 in cash funding annually. It will also provide 50 complimentary hotel nights (valued up to $12,500 per year) for authors and industry leaders.
Quest will host Stella Salons in selected Quest properties, featuring book talks with acclaimed authors and moderators provided by Stella.
Quest GM of brand and ESG, Anthea Dimitrakopoulos, said “At Quest, we believe in fostering a culture of inclusivity, empowerment, and creativity”.
“Stella’s mission to drive systemic change and create a more equitable literary culture aligns perfectly with Quest’s values. We are proud to support an initiative that not only highlights exceptional Australian literature but also makes meaningful strides toward a more inclusive future,” Dimitrakopoulos sid.
