Deakin, Copyright Agency announce $20K children’s author residency

Deakin University and the Copyright Agency have partnered to create a new residency for children’s authors.

The Deakin University/Copyright Agency Children’s Writer-in-Residence program offers a $20,000 stipend and a three-month residency to support an established author of works for young people to develop a major new work. The successful applicant may choose to work from home or undertake the residency at Deakin’s Warrnambool campus in Victoria.

Applicants must be a current Australian resident and have had at least one major work published by a commercial publisher in Australia.

Applications for the residency close 29 October 2022. For more information see the Deakin Pavilion website here.
