Introducing the Learn more about the Parfitt-Pascoe Writing Residency Jo Parfitt and Robin Pascoe are delighted to announce the Parfitt Pascoe Writing Residents who have been chosen to cover the 2018 conference. As the 20th anniversary of FIGT, the 2018 conference will be a big one and so, accordingly, the PPWR is now bigger and better than ever. For the first time we will be training not four but six budding expat writers to write about every session, conduct interviews, blog for their own websites and FIGT's and, more importantly, produce the 2018 Insights and Interviews book to be published by Summertime Publishing. This year the PPWR are being asked to go further, to push their writing envelopes and write about other outsiders, those who live abroad but are live on the margins – the refugees, the divorced, those living cross-culturally on a daily basis but have never moved. This year we are asking the writers to write in other languages than English because we want to spread the word about FIGT further and wider into the communities. This year the PPWR will be more exciting than ever. Our writers are a mix of first-timers and those familiar with the organization and the board. They live in Australia, South Africa, Malaysia, the US, Scotland and Germany. They are multi-lingual, travelled and passionate. Let us introduce them..
