23 February - 7 March

Paddy O’Reilly is a writer from Victoria, Australia. Her work has been published and anthologized widely both in Australia and overseas.

Whilst in residence, Paddy participated in a panel discussion organised by the Hunter Writer’s Centre to discuss the role of Varuna in nurturing writers and was keynote speaker at the writing workshop ‘Techniques for Going Deeper’ . This workshop had participants who were PHD students of the University and published writers. From this residency it is hoped that links will be formed between the lock-up, the University of Newcastle’s writing program and the University of Ballarat’s writing program.
