Some delightful news as we meander towards the end of 2025: throughout November I'll be Virtual Writer-in-Residence with Melbourne City of Literature . This completes a very lovely trilogy after Tartu and Gothenburg , and extends my reach outside of Europe, which is a happy bonus. Sadly, this one doesn't include a trip to Melbourne, but it is a heck of a long way to travel when I'm still in the middle of teaching contract, so that's all good. This will be a Virtual Residency
