We are seeking to appoint a writer, storyteller, spoken word artist or other wordsmith to be in residence for the calendar month of July 2024 for the equivalent of at least one day per week during that time on a contractor/freelance basis.

The theme for Quay Words Summer 2024 is ‘Vessels’. We’re interested in multiple interpretations of the word as it relates to the Quayside’s past, present and your own work.

We offer an inclusive fee for the Residency of £1,000 to include the delivery of the public-facing events. We will encourage our writer to find time to develop their own work at the Custom House and we invite them to spend as much time on site as they wish. We will provide a private writing space in the building for the duration of the residency.
