Applications are open now for writers looking to spend three weeks on a windswept island in Scotland.
The Island to Island residency exchange sends writers from Aotearoa and Scotland to the other side of the world to inspire their creative work and strengthen the literary ties between the two island nations.
It's run by creative writing agency Moniack Mhor in Scotland and Verb Wellington in New Zealand.
Founder of Verb Wellington Claire Mabey joins Emile Donovan.
