The Royal Lyceum Theatre Company is delighted to be hosting a Writer in Residence for the Lyceum’s Youth Theatre supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland. The Lyceum is seeking applications from professional writers for children and young people based in Scotland.

We are conscious that writers for children and young people are under-served by Fellowship opportunities in Scotland and we are seeking a writer in any medium (including but not limited to: plays, novels, poetry and picture books) who creates work for the youngest members of our society.

The successful applicant will become Writer in Residence for the Lyceum Youth Theatre for seven months from April to October 2020 to respond to the proposition; What would Greta do?

This theme was developed in collaboration with members of the Lyceum Youth Theatre taking inspiration from the story of Greta Thunberg and the many young trailblazers who have changed our world for the better.

The successful applicant would be attached to the Lyceum’s Youth Theatre and will also benefit from the full range of The Lyceum’s activities and support including:

- A £12,000 bursary
- Complimentary tickets to The Lyceum’s productions
- Invitation to attend press nights & bespoke networking opportunities
- Invitation to join The Lyceum Reading Committee (quarterly meeting)
