If you have a non-fiction science, micro-history or history manuscript hiding in your top drawer, here’s the chance to bring it forth and give it life. Varuna – the writers’ house in Katoomba – is partnering with independent press Scribe Publications to offer a week-long, publishing-intensive mentorship and residency.
“The residency includes manuscript feedback and meetings with Scribe editorial staff, independent writing time in your own private writing studio, accommodation and meals. Scribe editors live with the writers at Varuna, and meet with each writer at the beginning and end of the week to discuss your project. Evenings offer the opportunity to meet with other writers and the Scribe editors over dinner to chat about publishing and writing.” Details about how to apply are here and applications are due by August 11.
