Writers in Residence
The Dan Davin Literary Foundation is excited to announce that in 2019 they will be hosting the first Dan Davin Literary Foundation Writer in Residence. This Residency has been made possible through a generous bequest from Laurie King and the help of the Southern Institute of Technology.
Since the mid 1990s the Foundation has supported creative writers in Southland through writing workshops, competitions and presentations, the Residency marks a new phase in the Foundation’s work.
The Dan Davin Literary Foundation is very pleased to announce that we will be hosting the inaugural Dan Davin Literary Foundation Writer in Residence this year. The Foundation is pleased with the calibre of applications we received for the residency and we are very pleased to announce that for this residency we have offered a joint opportunity to Dunedin based writers Majella Cullinane and Maxine Alterio.
They will be staying in Invercargill for 6 weeks from 29 August and during that time will not only attend to their own work but will host a variety of writing workshops throughout the region. We have also ensured that they have some Southland experiences while here and the residency includes a trip to Stewart Island for Majella and for Maxine a trip to Milford Sound.
The workshops will be for both adults and youth so if you are interested in finding out more about these please contact us through our Facebook page or by email dandavin@xtra.co.nz
