The Elizabeth Maynard Writer-in-Residence Program
The Elisabeth Maynard Writer-in-Residence program supports emerging or established writers to develop their work in the beautiful natural surroundings of Frensham. In turn, students and staff benefit from workshops, mentorship and insight into the creative process, gaining inspiration and a deeper connection to the literary landscape.
Now entering its second year, the Elisabeth Maynard Writer-in-Residence program is becoming a valued part of Frensham’s cultural life. The school, based in the beautiful NSW Southern Highlands just 1.5 hours from Sydney, will provide an emerging or established practitioner of the literary arts with the opportunity to work on an original text of significance, whilst shaping the next generation of young writers. Over 10 weeks, accommodation will be provided for the recipient, as they compose their literary work. At the same time, they will collaborate with Frensham staff to support students to cultivate their own appreciation of creative writing via a range of workshops, master classes and experiential learning opportunities.
