In partnership with Create NSW, Byron Writers Festival has launched the Write North Writers’ Group Residency. The Residency, valued at almost $40k, will support a writers’ group of up to four members in a creative residency across seven days from 7-13 September in Byron Shire.

The successful group will receive mentorship from award-winning author Charlotte Wood and further development in the individual writers’ projects towards publication. The mentorship includes workshops, group discussions and consultation sessions. . The residency also includes travel to Byron Bay, accommodation and per diems, plus $10,000 financial support for the successful group to continue their writing development after the residency.
