Bundanon

Joanna Nell is a Sydney-based writer, as well as a full-time GP with a special interest in care of the elderly.

Nell’s residency at the Bundanon was courtesy of the Shoalhaven branch of the Fellowship of Australian Writers, as part of the prize awarded for Nell’s short story ‘Kicking the Coffin Nails’ in the 2015 literary awards. Nell used the residency to work on a new novel examining society’s attitude towards ageing, through the eyes of two residents in an aged care facility. The novel, ‘The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village’ was released in 2018.
