Asia Creative Writing Programme
Visiting Writer
The Asia Creative Writing Programme is a collaboration between The College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CoHASS) at the Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU), and the National Arts Council, Singapore.
The aim of this programme is to appoint outstanding established Visiting Writers to be programme leaders and to provide a strong foundation in creative writing to promising writers in Singapore, support existing literary talent with sustained specialised development programmes to advance their creative practice, and promote intercultural understanding amongst writers writing in Singapore’s four official languages (Chinese, English, Malay, Tamil).
Interest in a partial or full term of a single semester should be indicated in their application through the cover letter.
The Visiting Writer will:
1) Undertake light teaching and marking duties in NTU in an undergraduate course for one semester (three to four months)
2) and for public programmes, conduct:
- A series of masterclasses/workshops (15 – 20 hours),
- individual writing consultations/mentorships (maximum ten individual one-hour sessions) and
- participate in public engagement events (e.g. readings, panel discussions or lectures).
The appointed writers or translators will have a publication or production history that demonstrates excellence and will be widely regarded as experts or masters in their practice. Visiting Writers should be creative writing practitioners or literary translators working in at least one of Singapore’s four official languages with a strong track record in the areas of instruction of creative writing or literary translation, or facilitation of writer development programmes.
Applicants may be writers working in poetry, fiction, playwriting, screenwriting, creative non-fiction, multimedia writing or any other literary form. Literary translators are also invited to apply.
