Michael King Writers’ Centre Residencies 2015 Applications are open |
|||
The Michael King Writers’ Centre invites applications from New Zealand writers for four supported residencies in 2015, with stipends ranging from $8,000 to $30,000.
The residencies are at the Michael King Writers’ Centre which
is based in the Signalman’s House, a heritage villa on Takarunga Mt Victoria
in Devonport.
The residency programme aims to support New Zealand writers
and promote the development of high-quality New Zealand writing. Projects can
be in a wide range of genres, including non-fiction, fiction, drama and
poetry.
Writers who are selected for the 2015 residencies receive free
accommodation at the Michael King Writers’ Centre, use of its writer’s studio
and a stipend:
The eight-week residencies are open to emerging or established
writers. The six-month residency, offered in partnership with The University
of Auckland, is for an established author who may benefit from the academic
environment. Writers must be working on a specific project in fiction,
poetry, drama, creative non-fiction or non-fiction. Writers from all over New
Zealand, including those who live in Auckland, are welcome to apply.
Application forms and further information are available on the
centre’s web site
www.writerscentre.org.nz or email manager@writerscentre.org.nz.
Applications close on Friday October 10, 2014,
and the selections are expected to be announced in November.
Thirty New Zealand writers have held residencies at the centre
since 2005. The current writer in residence is poet and novelist Anne
Kennedy.
The residencies are offered thanks to the support of Creative
New Zealand.
