Established and mid-career New Zealand writers are
invited to apply for the Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship 2015.
The Fellowship is one of New Zealand's
longest-standing and most prestigious literary opportunities. In 2015 it offers
a residency of three months or more in Menton, France and an allowance of
NZ$35,000 to cover return travel to France and living and accommodation
expenses.
The support of the city of Menton enables a New
Zealand author to work at the Villa Isola Bella, where Katherine Mansfield
lived and wrote during the latter part of her life.
Applications are sought from established writers
across all genres of creative writing: fiction, poetry, literary non-fiction, children’s
fiction and playwriting.
Since it was established in 1970, there have been
45 recipients of this fellowship including Janet Frame, Michael King, Lloyd
Jones, Witi Ihimaera, Vincent O'Sullivan, Bill Manhire, Ian Wedde, Elizabeth
Knox, Dame Fiona Kidman, Jenny Pattrick, Ken Duncum and the 2014 recipient,
Mandy Hager.
The Fellowship is an initiative of the Winn-Manson
Menton Trust and is administered by Creative New Zealand.
Applications close at 5pm on Friday 26 June, 2015
