The Disability Information and Resource Centre

This program aims to provide support to writers with disabilities by providing one-on-one consultations with the writer-in-residence, Sharon Kernot. Sharon will provide feedback, editing. and discuss writing and publishing aims. The program is free for writers of all genres, all ages and all levels.

Please contact the SA Writers’ Centre if you are interested in finding out more about the project.

The program has been generously supported by the Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust.

Malcolm Walker, author of The stone crown, is being kept busy in his role as writer-in-residence at the SA Writers Centre.

He is mentoring 38 people with a disability working in a wide range of genres including life stories, drama, poetry and fiction.

The results of their work will be published in an anthology later this year.

Media Release

Thanks to the Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust the SA Writers’ Centre has recently appointed Malcolm Walker, author of The Stone Crown (Walker Books 2008), as Writer-in-Residence to work with people with a disability.

Whether writing in a professional or recreational capacity, or simply wanting to tell their own story, writers are invited to come to the Centre to discuss their work on a one-to-one basis, or, if unable to access the city, via telephone or email.

Although this service is available to members of the SA Writers’ Centre we would like to invite anyone with a disability who has an interest in writing to make an appointment with Malcolm.
