Opportunity for NZ writers

Published New Zealand writers are invited to apply for the Creative New Zealand Randell Cottage Writers Residency 2010.
The residency runs from April to September 2010 with a monthly stipend of $2,500. Recent residents include Kirsty Gunn, Jennifer Compton and Whiti Hereaka.

Historic Randell Cottage is located in inner-city Thorndon, within walking distance of the National and Turnbull Libraries. It’s also very close to the Lilburn Residence, Rita Angus Cottage, Wellington Asia Residency and Katherine Mansfield Birthplace. The cottage has two bedrooms and a writer’s studio.
The cottage hosts NZ and French writers alternately, with French writer Fariba Hachtroudi due to start her residency shortly.

Applications for the 2010 residency close on 6 November 2009 – see http://www.randellcottage.co.nz/ for more information.
