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 WIR undertakes a paid residency funded by Scotch College with the aim of the program 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 WIR and used within the English Faculty or further afield. This opportunity gives our 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 2024 Writer in Residence program.
