The Arts Council and University of Galway are inviting applications for the Writer-in-Residence programme for 2025.

This opportunity is open to mid-career and established writers in prose fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and children’s literature. The successful applicant will receive a fee of €30,000, with €20,000 funded by the Arts Council and €10,000 by the university.

The residency will be divided into two phases: from January to June, the writer will engage with students and staff, while from July onwards, they will focus on their personal creative practice. The role includes up to 4 hours per week of engagement with students, but does not require teaching core curriculum.

Applications, including a detailed proposal, artist’s statement, and CV, must be submitted via email to Dearbhla Mooney at dearbhla.mooney [at] universityofgalway.ie by 5.30pm on Thursday, 3 October 2024.
