News flash: New writing residency announced
Here's your chance to win an exclusive writing residency on Norfolk Island, and to spend your time writing on the property of best-selling author Colleen McCullough.
We are delighted to announce the creation of a new residency for writers of historical fiction, named in honour of one of Australasia’s most beloved authors. The HNSA Colleen McCullough Residency will provide two writers, including an emerging writer, with a chance to visit and explore Norfolk Island, and spend their time writing in the environment which inspired Colleen.
