Writer In Residence: Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown

Here’s a very nice opportunity for Irish writers: a year-long Writer in Residence, part-time, that pays a fee of €15,000 and offers a room in the new Central Library for writing. To wit:
Introduction
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council invites applications for a writer in residence for the period June 2014 to May 2015. The writer in residence is a partnership between the Library Service and the Arts Office of the County Council, grant-aided by the Arts Council. The residency seeks to support writers in all genres. The residency is envisaged as a part-time position which will allow time for the writer’s own work in addition to engagement and interaction with both the general public and, more specifically, with those with an interest in writing themselves. The writer in residence will focus on working in both the refurbished Blackrock Library and the new Central Library and Cultural Centre (CLCC) in Dún Laoghaire, due to open later in 2014. We are pleased to announce that the writer in residence will have a dedicated room on the top floor of the new Central Library and Cultural Centre.

Declan Burke has published a number of novels, the most recent of which is ABSOLUTE ZERO COOL. As a journalist and critic, he writes and broadcasts on books and film for a variety of media outlets, including the Irish Times, RTE, the Irish Examiner and the Sunday Independent. He has an unfortunate habit of speaking about himself in the third person. All views expressed here are his own and are very likely to be contrary.
