Michael King Writers Centre Residencies
The Michael King Writers' Centre offers different supported residencies, ranging between eight weeks and six months.
The residency programme aims to foster New Zealand literature by providing opportunities for writers to work full-time on a major project. Authors receive a stipend, free accommodation and studio working space at the Michael King Writers’ Centre in Devonport, Auckland.
Selected authors stay at the Michael King Writers’ Centre for the duration of the residency and may be invited to take part in local cultural activities. Writers who normally live in Auckland are welcome to apply and may opt to have a part-time living or working arrangement at the centre.

The 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.
