Writer-in-Residence Opportunity at Seaton Delaval Hall
Deadline: Mon 20 Jan 2020
The National Trust in partnership with New Writing North and Northumbria University is seeking a Writer-in-Residence at Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland. Open to writers working in prose, poetry, creative non-fiction and script and based in the North East of England.

The writer will research and develop original work inspired by both the site and the Delaval family history; create and run a course for aspiring or emerging writers at the hall; and develop writing workshops for the local community based on the same material.

Seaton Delaval Hall is a National Trust property designed by Restoration playwright and architect Sir John Vanbrugh. For a hundred years, the hall was home to the influential and often wildly notorious Delaval family. Key characters include Francis Blake, John and Susanna Hussey, and their daughter, Sarah Hussey.

The writer’s residency is a major opportunity for reconsidering the provision for telling the stories of the Delaval family and their literary contexts.

The residency will take place from March – November 2020 and and will culminate in a public event to share the work created through the programme.

The fee will be £6,000 or 40 days at £150 per day. There is also a budget of £3250 to cover dissemination, event costs, the course and workshops.
