Michael King Writers' Centre/Creative NZ Short residencies 2009
The residencies are funded by the Michael King Writers' Centre and Creative New Zealand.
It is expected that one residency will be between January and March/April and the second will run between April and June.
The residencies are open to established authors, working on a project in fiction, non-fiction, drama or poetry.
The Michael King Writers' Centre has supported three writers-in-residence in 2008 with the assistance of Creative New Zealand. Wellington poet, Chris Price, had a six month residency in the first half of the year in partnership with The University of Auckland. In the second half of the year there have been two short residencies. Auckland writer Sarah Laing has been working on a novel at the centre and Massey University Professor Richard Corballis is working on a biography of Bruce Mason.

Member Profile
Michael King Writers' CentreThe Michael King Writers' Centre.
It is the first full writers' facility and literary centre in New Zealand.
The centre is based in the historic Signalman's House on the slopes of Mt Victoria in Devonport and was established to honour the memory of author and historian Michael King. After his death in 2004, a number of his fellow writers and friends formed a trust with the aim of establishing a centre to assist writers and to promote the literary arts in New Zealand.
