Could you be a Writer in Residence at Wytham Woods?

The Wytham Woods team are seeking applications from writers who would like to be Writer in Residence for 2020-21. The year-long residency starts in May. The full description of the role, and how to apply, can be found on the Wytham Woods website. 

Please see the information from the Wytham Woods team:

“Wytham Woods is an ancient semi-natural woodland, which has been owned and maintained by the University of Oxford since 1942. It is internationally renowned for its scientific research, with its 1000 acres being a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, and one of the most researched pieces of woodland in the world.

“However the Woods are not famous for science alone, and have also inspired many people from across the divide between Arts and Science, perhaps most famously in Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse novel, The Way Through The Woods. The Wytham team are keen to expand its involvement with the arts, and in recent years have hosted music performances, art installations, and photographic exhibitions, in addition to the work of the artists at the Wytham Studio.

“For our ‘Woodland Words’ residency we welcome applications from writers of all kinds and at all stages of their writing careers, and we expect new creative outlooks to have an impact upon the residency. If you have any questions please contact wytham.woods@admin.ox.ac.uk.” 

Application deadline: 9 March 2020
