$10,000 Opportunity for Writers
Applications open for NZSA Peter & Dianne
Beatson Fellowship 2018
Calling for applications from writers of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama with a literary track record, who are currently working on a new project.
This annual Fellowship is awarded each year to a mid-career or senior writer to work on a project that shows a high level of literary merit and national significance and is donated by Peter Beatson. This year Peter has decided to increase the stipend for the fellowship to $10,000. We thank Peter for his continuing and generous support of New Zealand writers.
In 2017 the fellowship was awarded to Central Otago writer Jillian Sullivan, enabling her to work on a collection of creative non-fiction essays (including poetry) set in Central Otago and with a strong conservation base.
Deadline for applications: 4pm Friday 17 August 2018
To apply for the fellowship you need to be a member of
the NZ Society of Authors (PEN NZ Inc). Membership is open
to all developing and established writers. NZSA provides:
literary sector news, a mentorship programme, manuscript
assessment, manuscript services, contract advice, advocacy
and representation for writers, information on the
publishing industry, grants and other opportunities, along
with affiliation to international
