The Gibbons Samuel Beckett Creative Fellow at Trinity College Dublin
Trinity College Dublin has just announced a creative fellow scheme drawing on the extensive Beckett collection at the institution’s library. Applications are invited from mid-career and established writers for this award, which supports the creation of new writing in response to the Beckett Archive at Trinity. The archive comprises the largest single collection of Beckett’s correspondence in a research institution, plus notebooks, manuscript drafts, theatre rehearsal notes, photographs, and ephemera. The award, which includes accommodation and stipend, gives a writer the opportunity to engage with this rich collection and to produce an original piece of writing inspired by their time in the archive. The writer will offer a workshop for students and a public interview or reading, but they will not be asked to do any formal teaching.
Full details of the generous scholarship and application requirements can be found here.
