The Brownsbank Fellowship
"It is hard to believe that a decade has passed since the Fellowship's first writer drew ink by the side of a roaring fire. Now six Fellows have been resident. Each has brought distinction to the post. Each has added a layer of creative substance that has enhanced and developed the Fellowship's objectives. Their creativity and community support has laid a solid foundation for other writers who will take up residency in the next decade and on."
William-John Deerin: Foreword to Stepping into the Avalanche (2003)
