The writing journey thrives on connection, and the KSP Writers' Centre in Greenmount fosters that through the Caruso Residency and similar initiatives. As the Writer in Residence in early 2025, I had the opportunity to engage with this creative community, expanding my network and honing my craft. This writeup reflects my experience and the invaluable support the residency provided.
