Residential Workshops

The Michael King Writers’ Centre organises a residential workshop each year, designed for experienced writers who wish to develop their skills in specific areas.

These are high-level workshops, which feature prominent authors and tutors. They focus on specialised aspects of writing, such as writing history or biography. Applicants are expected to have some publishing record or to be specialists in their field.

The workshops are usually held at the Vaughan Park Retreat Centre at Long Bay on Auckland’s North Shore. The retreat has excellent facilities and is a in a beautiful location.

The workshop planned for 2011 is now set for February 2012 to avoid a clash with the Rugby World Cup. Read about the next workshop.
