Expressions of Interest: Course Proposals
Writing NSW welcomes proposals for our three seasons of course programming: January–April, May–August, and September–December. We generally schedule courses around six months in advance, and Expressions of Interest are always open.
What we look for in tutors
To be considered, you will need both:
- A track record in your field. For writers, this usually means at least one published book with a recognised publisher. We also welcome tutors whose expertise sits elsewhere in the industry: editors, publishers, agents, literary journal editors and similar professionals, where substantial professional experience stands in place of a publication history.
- Relevant teaching experience with adults. This might be courses, workshops, mentorships, masterclasses or tertiary teaching.
If you’re unsure whether your experience or qualifications meet these criteria, we still encourage you to apply and tell us about them.
To be considered, please complete the Expression of Interest form.
Internships
Our internship program is an excellent opportunity for emerging arts workers with an interest in literature, communications, arts operations, events or program management to develop their skills by working with our talented and supportive team.
Writing NSW interns produce content, work on digital and other projects, contribute to communications strategies, liaise with writers and the broader writing community, assist at events, and undertake general office administration tasks as required. Internships take place in person at our office in Callan Park, Lilyfield.
Applications are currently closed while we secure funding for the next intake of the internship program.
Writing NSW is located in the heritage-listed Garry Owen House, in beautiful Callan Park, Lilyfield. As the premier writing organisation in the state, Writing NSW provides support to writers from all backgrounds and at all stages of their careers. A not-for-profit organisation, we run a lively program of face-to-face and online courses, workshops and events as well as providing a range of services to our members and the broader writing community. Writing NSW receives funding from Create NSW, Creative Australia and the Inner West Council.

Writing NSW acknowledges all the First Nations people of what is now the state of NSW and pays respects to their elders and storytellers, past, present and emerging.
