Verb Readers and Writers Festival
7 - 10 Nov

Programme launch in Sept! 

Verb Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-tara, Aotearoa New Zealand) and Moniack Mhor (Highlands, Scotland) are partnering to create a residency exchange in 2024. The purpose is to offer writers paid time to explore a new geography, a fresh environment to inspire their creative work; and to strengthen the relationship between our respective literatures and acknowledge the close ties that both countries have both historically and in a contemporary context.

Applications for the 2024 residency exchange will close on Monday 8 April at 12:00pm
