The inaugural Elisabeth Maynard Writer-in-Residence Program is the first of its kind at Frensham. The school, based in the beautiful NSW Southern Highlands just 1.5 hours from Sydney, will provide an emerging or established practitioner of the literary arts with the opportunity to work on an original text of significance, whilst shaping the next generation of young writers.
Over 10 weeks, accommodation will be provided for the recipient, as they compose their literary work. At the same time, they will collaborate with Frensham staff to support students to cultivate their own appreciation of creative writing via a range of workshops, master classes and experiential learning opportunities.
The Residency will take place in 2025.
Applications close Friday 28 June 2024.
