Applications
are now open for the 2018 Creative New Zealand Randell Cottage Writers

been followed by Tim Corballis, Michael Harlow, Renée, Beryl Fletcher, Whiti
Hereaka, Jennifer Compton, Kirsty Gunn, Pat White, Peter Walker, Vivienne
Plumb, Denis Welch, Tina Makereti, Witi Ihimaera, Owen Marshall, Stephanie
Johnson and Stephen Daisley.
The Randell
Cottage Creative NZ Writer in Residence is selected by a Trust-appointed
committee to work on an approved project from July to December each year. The
deadline for applications is Friday, 3 November 2017. The successful applicant will
be announced in December.
