PICA in collaboration with Memo Review invites expressions of interest from early-career arts writers based in Western Australia for a writing mentorship from June to November 2023.

The selected writer will be mentored by a Memo Review Editor to develop and publish a feature article for Memo’s inaugural annual print magazine, launching November 2023.

Applicants are invited to submit a writing sample (1,000 words maximum), a feature article pitch (200 words maximum) and a short statement on how your writing practice would benefit from this mentorship along with the application form. The editors are particularly interested in pitches with a WA focus.

The selected writer will be paid a fee of $1,500 for an article of approximately 2,000–3,000 words.

Closing date for applications: Thursday 1 June 2023.
