What’s On
Write North Writers’ Group Residency
Mid-career to established NSW writers are invited to apply for the 2021 Write North Writers’ Group Residency in partnership with Create NSW.
In its second year, the Residency, valued at almost $30,000, will support a writers’ group of two to four members in a creative residency across seven days from 26 October – 2 November 2021 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 up to $10,000 financial support for the successful group to continue their writing development after the residency.
If you’re a mid-career or established writers’ group, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.
