We’re inviting up to 4 writers to spend 4–11 September 2026 immersed in the natural beauty of Apollo Bay. This funded, self-guided residency offers emerging and established writers a place of solitude to write, reflect and create in a serene coastal bush setting.

Each writer will enjoy a private bedroom with ensuite, shared kitchen, dining and lounge spaces with writing desks, plus a spacious balcony overlooking bushland, home to wallabies, koalas and abundant native birdlife. An onsite bush trail invites moments of reflection between writing sessions.

To apply, email [email protected] with:
• A short introduction about yourself and your area of literature
• Your writing experience
• Links to your website and/or social media (if applicable)

Applications close 16 August 2026, with successful applicants notified by 19 August.
