The National Trust of Western Australia has partnered with the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries to establish writing in residence opportunities at National Trust properties.
This is an exciting opportunity to tell Western Australian stories. Be inspired through residencies at National Trust places and being exposed to their collections and multi-layered rich histories to create stories which resonate with our past, connect to the present and imagine the future.
This new initiative, INSPIRE, is a chance for Western Australian writers to undertake a residency in one of three properties in the Perth metropolitan area.
The initiative is open and responsive to writers’ needs, inclusive of emerging and established writers, and recognises the breadth of storytelling and writing genres Western Australia is known for.
The benefits of the residency centre on opportunities for research, creative and professional development, encouraging excellence in writing and nurturing connections with potential publishers.
Applications for residencies in 2020 close Monday 16 March 2020 at 11.59pm WST (midnight). Applications will be accepted electronically only.
