The Fellowship
is one of New Zealand's longest-standing and most prestigious literary
opportunities. In 2016 it offers a residency of three months or more in Menton,
France during 2017 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, Mandy Hager and the 2015 recipient, Anna Jackson.
The Fellowship
is administered by the Arts Foundation of New Zealand and supported by Creative
New Zealand.
Applications
close at 5pm on Friday 23 September 2016
