In partnership with Scotch College, The Mill offers a five-week annual Writer in Residence program within the Scotch College English Faculty. The Mill’s Writer in Residence undertakes a paid residency funded by Scotch College with the aim to help further develop students’ writing/communication skills via written/verbal/multi-modal responses to creative themes.

The pieces created by the students are collated into an anthology by The Mill’s Writer in Residence and used within the English Faculty or further afield. This opportunity gives writers paid employment and builds a relationship with an educational facility that may lead to future employment.

The recipient for this residency is chosen from the Writer in Residence program.
