Melbourne City of Literature invites all writers from UNESCO Cities of Literature to put themselves forward to be a virtual writer in residence in November 2024.
From poets to playwrights, this is an opportunity to get to know Melbourne’s vibrant and varied literary community up close by spending November working with one of the many organisations that make us a City of Literature.
Each writer in residence will be connected with their selected organisation and will require you to produce agreed upon content for the organisation. This content will be any three of the following (or three of just one of the following):
a workshop
a written piece
an appearance/ panel
a social media takeover
The residency will also include opportunities for meetings with all the writers in residence and facilitated further connections with Melbourne as a City of Literature.
As one of our virtual writers in residence you will be paid $1500 (AUD) and you will retain all copyright for your work.
To be eligible you need to be a writer and resident presently in one of the UNESCO Cities of Literature.

Deadline: 11.59pm, Monday 2 September 2024 (AET)
