Roderick Centre Online Fellowship for Regional and Remote Writers
Six online fellowships will be offered to writers living in regional and remote parts of Australia, offering the opportunity for professional development, mentorship and peer feedback.
The only national literary program in Australia specifically for regional and remote writers, this fellowship is presented in partnership with the Roderick Centre for Australian Literature and Creative Writing (RCALC). Newly established in 2024 thanks to a generous bequest from the late Colin and Margaret Roderick, the Centre aims to foster the reading and writing of Australian literature in all its forms, and to encourage the study of Australian literature and literary cultures.
The online fellowship program will include:
Two one-hour online sessions (one-on-one) with a Varuna writing consultant
Two online Q&A sessions with published writers experienced in their craft
Daily facilitated professional networking opportunities throughout the week, including the opportunity to share work, talk about process, and receive feedback
Online fellowship participants need to allow at least two hours at specific times every day for programmed sessions, with the expectation that participants will spend at least three hours dedicated writing time each day.
This program is for writers living in regional and remote parts of Australia. For a list of cities and towns excluded from eligibility, please visit our FAQ.
