‘Meanjin’ announces two new residencies

Literary journal Meanjin has announced two new residencies, offered in partnership with non-profit arts and cultural organisation InPlace, to ‘support writers of shorter works with dedicated writing time, much-needed funds, and a publication opportunity’.

The Meanjin InPlace Autumn Resident and the Meanjin InPlace Spring Resident will each spend two weeks at the Garambi Baanj/Laughing Waters Cultural Precinct, operated by InPlace. During their residency, they will complete a work in any genre for publication in Meanjin.

Each residency is worth up to $10,000, with residents to receive a $5000 stipend plus up to $5000 to cover travel, car hire, childcare and any other costs associated with the two-week residency.

The 2024 autumn residency is open to writers from culturally and racially marginalised communities, with applications open until 12 noon, 11 March. The spring residency will be open to First Nations writers writing in language, either entirely or in part.

The residencies are supported by InPlace’s Creative Australia Arts Projects for Organisations grant.

More information about the new residencies is available on the Meanjin website.
