3 Titan Street, North Dunedin, Janefield-Halfway Bush, Dunedin City
The University of Otago is the only tertiary institute in New Zealand that offers a residency for a children's writer. Begun by the Dunedin College of Education in 1992, it allows writers to work full time in a compatible environment among colleagues who are concerned with the teaching of reading and literature to children.
The residency is open to established children's writers who are normally resident in New Zealand. The annual residency is for a six-month period between February and August and includes an office within the College. The residency is offered in association with the Robert Lord Trust, which provides rent-free accommodation to writers in the historic Titan Street cottage bequeathed by the late playwright Robert Lord.
