Posted: Monday Jul 13, 2020

A four week residency (13 September to Friday 9 October) in the Robert Lord Writers Cottage (Dunedin) to write, and participate in the NZ Young Writers Festival (24-27 September).

The residency is open to New Zealand writers aged 18-35. The writer will present an event within the 2020 NZYWF, which may be work/work in progress developed during the residency.
