Part of my adventures in 2020 is the chance to be a writer-in-residence in Orquevaux, France. The Denis Diderot grant covers some of the cost of this month-long program, which includes board, a studio and meals; I need to raise the rest. 

Having concentrated, dedicated, extended writing time has long been a dream – I can't quite believe I get to experience it next year! Your support, in whatever way you can manage, to help me pay for this residency would mean a lot to me. 

Should you decide to make a contribution to my residency costs, here's a sweetener you could opt in for! Leave your name with your donation and I will compose a short story, poem, essay or other piece of writing featuring... YOU! No unflattering pieces, I promise :)
