Unique and Inspiring Writing Residencies in the United States

Author: Shannon Bowring Updated: December 9, 2022

For many aspiring authors , one of our biggest literary dreams is to attend writing residencies. Residencies provide time and space for authors to focus solely on our creative work and often take place in idyllic, gorgeous settings sure to break through even the most stubborn writer’s block. But there are so many writing residencies out there—how do you begin to narrow down the one that’s right for you?

We are here to help! We have curated, by region, some of the most unique and inspiring writing residencies. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and we remind you to always refer to a residency’s website for their most current information and submission guidelines.

Getting Into A Writers Residency — The Ultimate Guide

Do you know what a writers residency is? This article will tell you all about it. Have you ever dreamed of being on a lovely, perhaps isolated island? A place where you can spend time writing, and engaging with writer peers while learning from established authors and publishers.

If you have, then what you should be looking for is how to get into a writers residency, workshop or retreat. The good news is there are thousands to pick from yearly. 

What is a Writers Residency?

A writer’s residency is typically organized to bring writers from different parts of the world under one space. It is a great opportunity for writers to take their craft to the next level.

During a residency, writers can expect to explore new ideas, terrains and receive direct feedback on their work while providing the same for their peers. Of course, they also get the much-needed time and space to focus on their work.

The average writer writing from home will probably have a parent yelling in their ears, a spouse demanding attention, or a child who insists on following you everywhere. Even when none of those are the case, there is the threat of avolition or writer’s block which may come from being in the same space for too long. This is why every writer serious about developing a solid body of work should consider getting into a residency. 

However, the application process usually seems daunting to many. This article will break down the process of getting into a residency from start to finish and provide you with the best tips for acing your applications.

Before Applying for a Writers Residency

• The Mindset

Before applying, you should understand that you will most likely not get into the first residency you apply to and that is okay. (If you do, congratulations on being a part of the lucky 1%)

Another point to note is that the fear of application requirements should deter you from applying. Many of the people who get certain opportunities aren’t always 100% qualified, but what matters is they do not count themselves out before the game begins. If everything you want is on the other side of fear, then frankly, a good application process should intimidate you. Feel the fear and apply, anyway. 

The first step in the application process is to research the different programs available. Many people are oblivious to the myriad of opportunities the internet is replete with. 

The lack of awareness of such opportunities is because people are not willing to do the work of searching for them.  I would advise taking out five to ten minutes daily to look for that opportunity that may change the trajectory of your life forever.

During the research process, it is important to give priority to the residencies happening in cities you love/ would like to explore, and opportunities that align with your vision for your work. If travelling does not excite you much, you may apply to digital residencies instead.

Other factors to consider when choosing where to apply include:

• requirements, and

Note that while there are lots of fully funded opportunities, there are also scholarship schemes you can search out for residencies that are costly. Again, research is key.  

The Application

Get Your Big Three Ready   : The big three consists of your writing CV, your portfolio / writing sample and your cover letter. A residency application will always ask for at least one of these three. The best thing you can do is to have them prepared and constantly updated. You’re better off improving previous submissions than constantly starting from scratch.

• CV/ Resume: A writing CV should mention the places you have previously been employed at in a writing related role- copywriting, editor/ editorial, UX writer , screenwriter, social media manager etc. Your writing CV is different from your portfolio. Learn how to write a successful CV .
• Writing sample/ portfolio: Your portfolio is a compilation of your works fiction, articles as well as press news and other information that testify to your craftsmanship. If you are just starting out, you can create a portfolio with free web-hosting platforms. Feel free to insert medium or substack links, if you have one.  

Some residency applications may simply require you to attach your work samples, make sure you attach your best. 

• Cover Letter/ inspiration: Do not use your cover letter to reiterate points that are already stated in your CV.  A good cover letter should show your inspiration, areas your work explore, your vision for your writing, your plan for the duration of the residency and why you think it will be helpful to you. 

An important addition that will give you an edge is to be clear on how your writing goals align with that of the fellowship. For example, if the residency hosts have a mission to see women empowered, you may decide to mention how your work explores human rights or gender equality themes.

Finally, remember that your fears and inadequacies can also make for a great story. 

Sample Cover Letter

Italy. As an award-winning fiction writer from Nigeria, Nominated for [xxx prize] I am eager to explore new perspectives and cultures to inform my writing.

My passion for writing has been fueled by my interests [insert relevant interests]

I hope to explore these themes further during my time in Italy, and to use my experiences to create complex and compelling female characters in my writing.

Italys culture has influenced so many aspects of the world, from art and architecture to cuisine and fashion and so I am excited to immerse myself in the

daily rhythms of Italian life, and to draw on these experiences to inspire my writing.

Finally, I am confident that my passion for writing and my dedication to exploring feminist themes in my work make me an excellent candidate for the

[End strong]

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the vibrant

creative community in Italy.

Note: A cover letter for a residency is not the same letter for a magazine submission

Be Honest:  When applying, be honest with all questions. Avoid equivocating for the sake of being chosen.  

While you should highlight your achievements. Be sure that the information you are providing is true and can be factually verified.

Follow the Rules :  With all said above, remember rules are rules. If the application instruction specifies a double-line space formatting, do just that. Checking their FAQ page is also a great way to get more insight into the application process. If you look through, you will probably find answers to questions you may have had. 

Final Edits :  Editing is just as important as writing. Platforms like Google docs, Grammarly and Quillbot would be great for editing. Getting an extra pair of eyes on your work is also very important.

Submit in Time: Literal last-minute submissions are a terrible idea. For one, you are bound to make errors which are usually a turn-off to the applications committee.

In addition, the probability that a good number of people would be trying to submit at this time is high. This could usually cause a glitch in the host’s website. You don’t want to work so hard on an application without getting a chance to submit it.

After Applying

Track your Applications: Tr ack all applications on a Google sheet or a word document. It helps to know how much time to give before writing back for a response. It is also a great way to appreciate how much work you’re putting in (Or how much more you still need to do)

Keep your Hopes Up : Be optimistic. 

Getting a rejection shouldn’t deter you. It should fuel your fire for acceptance. However, with all the tips shared in this article, you should not fret, your first/next residency is right on the way.

Wishing you all the best in your applications.

Writers' Residency At Linden Place

Supporting rhode island writers in the creation of vibrant new works.

Now, we want you to be part of our literary lineage by bringing a creative point of view to our history. The Linden Place Writers’ Residency is a no-cost, daytime only residency program that gives creative writers the tools to discover, engage, examine, and interpret Linden Place’s people, events, setting, and artifacts through a contemporary lens.

LINDEN PLACE AS CREATIVE MUSE

The stories of those who lived and worked here speak to issues of enslavement, colonialism, early industry, class divides, philanthropy, and the agency of women. In all, it is fertile ground for creative writers to re-interpret, re-examine, and expound on history through contemporary viewpoints. Could you imagine Linden Place as the backdrop of a LGBTQ+ historic romance? Could you envision a superhero narrative with a freed African as the central figure? Could you see a Young Adult novel where the teen protagonist discovers a portal to the past through one of the museum’s paintings? Could you pen a classic mystery where Ethel Barrymore, one of our former occupants and most popular actresses of her day, goes missing while visiting here? Could you write a narrative essay about your life that draws parallels to the lives of the widowed women who’ve resided here? Could you create an anti-racist rock opera that sheds light on the DeWolf slave traders? Could you conceive of a screenplay with a pivotal scene taking place in our gardens? These ideas represent the kind of varied, thought-provoking, contemporary works that we aim to foster through the writers’ residency. We believe the work that comes out of the program will be a gateway for an expanded understanding and re-examination of our complex history.

RESIDENCY OVERVIEW

The Linden Place Writers’ Residency (LPWR) is a free, month-long, daytime-only residency for creative writers wishing to interpret the museum's complicated history through a creative lens.

Three esteemed judges will select 6 residents  to join us for the residency month of April. Each writer receives:

• Research support from museum professionals
• A $100 travel stipend

our 2024 judges

OCTAVIA MCBRIDE-AHEBEE 's poems present human relationships within the context of global inequality. Her work has appeared in many journals and anthologies including For Harriet, Badilisha Poetry Exchange, Fingernails Across The Chalkboard: Poetry And Prose on HIV/AIDS From the Black Diaspora, and elsewhere. McBride-Ahebee's poetry collections include Assuming Voices (Lit Pot Press) and Where My Birthmark Dances (Finishing Line Press). Her work is informed by the convergence of cultures and the many ways people move throughout the world. Her poetry consists of narrative vignettes that are dense, emotionally difficult, yet honest.

They must be at least 18 years old and meet one of the following criteria: Have Rhode Island as a primary residence at least 9 months of the year or live along the Massachusetts border within 25 miles of Linden Place.

Former writers’ in residence must wait 3 years to apply to the program again.

WHAT MEDIUMS DO YOU ACCEPT?

Fo r application writing samples and proposed works while in residence we accept fiction (all genres), narrative non-fiction, poetry, screenplays, and plays.

Writers are also required to attend the reading of their works in progress and community discussion in early/mid-June. 

WHO ARE THE JUDGES, AND HOW ARE THEY EVALUATING THE SUBMISSIONS?

Every judging panel includes a mix of professional creative writers and experts in early Black history. Our 2024 judges are Octavia McBride-Ahebee , historian Seth Rockman , and author Chaya Bhuvaneswar . Past judges were Padma Venkatraman , Jennifer Lighty , Adam McNeil , Daisy Abreu , Robert Isenberg , Eirene Tran Donahue , and Marco McWilliams . There are two rounds of judging. Individual submissions are first judged on social impact of the statement of intent, creativity, and merit of the writing sample. For the second and final round of judging, evaluators are looking at all previously stated criteria as well as curating a collective group of writers who represent diversity in as many areas as possible. We do not employ a blind judging process. You can read why in  this article .

A person of color’s guide to navigating writing residencies, for our application week series, hannah bae writes about applying to and attending writing residencies as a person of color—along with tips from about ten other writers who identify as bipoc..

I’ve tried my best to hide it, but I’ve arrived at every artists’ residency I’ve attended knotted with fear and desperation. The past few years have been an especially fraught time to pursue the writing life as a person of color. Or perhaps it’s always been a fraught time for us—it just took a global pandemic and multiple scourges of racial violence to underscore that point for my particular, broken millennial brain. The stakes were—have always been—high.

By the time I checked into my very first writing residency in July 2021, at The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the anticipation had been building for nearly two years, hence the desperation. I’d applied in mid-2019, been awarded the fellowship that funded my stay that November, and planned my residency for May 2020, and then had it deferred, month after month, as I felt the Covid-19 pandemic and waves of anti-Asian hate decimate my sense of well-being, to say nothing of any creative impulse or inspiration.

I was afraid of contracting Covid-19 before, during, after, and on the way to or from the residency. I was afraid of racists, who could come in any number of forms, in any number of settings. I was also afraid that I might never write anything of substance again, because for most of 2020, I failed to complete much of anything, and certainly not a coherent manuscript of creative nonfiction. I was desperate to see if any writing could possibly unfurl, finally, with time outside of my apartment, free of domestic demands.

All this was coming from me, a usually confident, extroverted person who exudes positivity online. I barely recognized myself.

I didn’t know this when I had applied, way back in 2019, but by the time I arrived in Eureka Springs, I was in search of refuge that would remind me of who I am.

I’m writing this piece now after spending a total of two and a half months of the past year at three different artists’ residencies, each of which transformed me as a writer, renewed my emotional health, and introduced me to dozens of new, dear friends. But as a writer of color, preparing for each residency (which also entailed applying to more than a dozen) required a unique approach, and I want to share the wisdom that I gained, plus tips from about ten other writers who identify as BIPOC and whom I consulted about their own residency experiences.

What is a residency?

If you’re not familiar, artists’ residencies come in a number of forms. More often than not, they’re essentially retreat centers where artists get a break from their everyday lives to focus intensely on their work for an extended period of time. Some are for writers only; others are for artists of any number of disciplines. Some are incredibly selective; others are essentially open-invite. Some employ staff who take care of all the cooking and cleaning; others just offer a place to stay, while you clean up after yourself. Some charge money for room, board, and/or meals; others are free, or even offer accepted artists a stipend.

In the United States, because of the ways that wealth is structured, residencies are often the product of white people’s philanthropy in the form of real estate, an endowment, and/or fundraising. Many residencies tout their idyllic settings, but because of this country’s history of stolen land, they are often located in areas where Black, Indigenous, and people of color are in a significant minority. This means, as residents, we need to take great care to protect our bodies, minds, hearts, and sacred time for our work in these spaces, as should the residency’s staff and community.

Location matters

“When I am at a residency, I am focused on myself and my work and self-care. I am open and tender, extra vulnerable to the microaggressions I encounter in daily life,” fiction writer and essayist Yalitza Ferreras—who wrote a beautiful, moving ode to artist residencies recently—told me. “I don’t want to think the double take of a passerby in a small town could escalate into something more, and even just an overly friendly greeting reminds me that I’ve been noticed and marked as an outsider.”

For this very reason, I’ve prioritized applying to residencies where I have a local connection, especially during the pandemic, to keep emotional and medical support systems close. My in-laws, for example, live in Arkansas, which meant that my time at The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow was a blessed chance to see them for the first time since the pandemic’s onset. This proximity to my in-laws also served my work: My community ties meant that the public reading I planned during my residency, which also spotlighted an Arkansan writer friend, was very well attended. (It went so well, I cried!) I wouldn’t be surprised if highlighting my regional connection in my application made me a more compelling candidate too.

For an early 2022 residency, at Ragdale in Lake Forest, Illinois, I took the opportunity of returning to my birth state to revisit an old family home (thanks to an extremely gracious local writer friend who housed me beforehand and drove me!) and to conduct research. Unexpectedly, for the first time in twenty years, I was also able to reconnect with a beloved family member who lives nearby. That heart-affirming reunion—invaluable to my writing project—was only possible during the pandemic because of the incredible support of my Ragdale cohort and residency staff. It meant a lot to be surrounded by comfort and care—a literal shoulder to cry on—before and after that reunion.

The company you keep

Before each residency, I hoped dearly that there would be other BIPOC artists there. Each time, I lucked out, but it really did come down to luck (and thoughtful decisions by a residency’s selection committee; if any arts admins out there are reading this: Please never create a group residency that only has room for one BIPOC artist).

At the Peter Bullough Foundation in Winchester, Virginia, where I lived alongside just one other artist, I was delighted to have a coresident of Asian descent, plus an Asian American friend who lived within walking distance. It meant a lot to live alongside those who knew exactly why it was important to prioritize our physical safety, no questions asked, even in a quaint, picturesque town.

Nur Nasreen Ibrahim, a journalist, TV producer, and writer of fiction and nonfiction, told me that she also felt fortunate to find herself in a diverse and generous cohort recently at Millay Arts in upstate New York. “Be mindful that you cannot choose your cohort,” she advised. “I told myself beforehand that I had to go in with an open mind and hope that others would be the same.”

Arvin Ramgoolam, a fiction writer, bookseller, and recent fellow at MacDowell in New Hampshire, came in bracing himself to feel out of place, only to find himself in a supportive, BIPOC-heavy artistic community.

As I was reporting out this piece, several 2022 MacDowell fellows told me that their cohorts were majority BIPOC and queer, and that selection appeared to have prioritized artists who were new to the organization. “I had never applied to a residency like MacDowell before because (a) I was concerned it would be mostly white people, and (b) I had never wanted to be away from my children for more than a few days,” said poet, writer, and educator Sun Yung Shin.

For Ramgoolam, conveying his own generosity of spirit toward his cohort was key, even when it came to the little details. For instance, while he doesn’t drink himself, he came to MacDowell with four bottles of wine to share with coresidents over dinner.

Starting with an open mind and heart were key to my own positive residency experiences. At Ragdale, where residencies are planned around a cohort (around ten artists during mine; much larger in non-Covid times), prosecco, negative Covid tests, and sheer gratitude for the opportunity to gather contributed to the remarkably good chemistry in my group. (And it goes without saying to respect and include residents who do not imbibe in social gatherings!)

But even when all participants are interacting in good faith, cohesive bonds are not a given. While residencies can be a great networking opportunity, especially for beginner writers, “don’t be offended if more established residents aren’t as eager to socialize,” said memoirist and essayist Grace Loh Prasad, who had the good fortune of attending Ragdale and Hedgebrook, a Washington State–based residency for women writers, early in her own career. “Be friendly, but keep in mind that they are there to work and they don’t owe you anything.”

Other residency veterans had outright horror stories to tell about uncomfortable dynamics that they’d witnessed. When the vibe sours, self-preservation is essential.

Protect yourself

Novelist, essayist, and memoirist Amna Ahmad once said about a peer’s MacDowell experience, “A wise woman I know said that the racism happens in the evenings.” This was before the residency’s apparent efforts to diversify their seasonal residency cohorts. Ahmad went on to say, “Instead of gathering with other residents in the common spaces to chat after dinner, she would go back to her room. Others take this a step further and even take their meals back to their private spaces.”

There is still so much work to be done to make artistic residencies truly hospitable to BIPOC artists, and it’s important to remember that this is not work that we should burden ourselves with.

“We don’t have any obligation or responsibility to ‘correct’ or ‘educate’ other folks who may be at these workshops or residencies (primarily white folks who may be wealthy or retired and have the time, flexibility, and funds to attend),” said essayist and Georgetown law professor Janel George, whom I met at Dairy Hollow. At one dinner during her stay, when white residents began discussing police killings of unarmed Black people, then turned to victim-blaming, George remembered the advice of a friend and previous resident who, like her, is a Black woman: Don’t feel the need to engage. You are there to write. Save your energy to do that. Instead, George and another BIPOC resident left the room together. “That gave me so much peace,” she said.

Before a residency, take time to consider what exactly you need from the experience: Rest? Solitude? Community? Sustained work time? And check in with yourself periodically to make sure you’re getting it. Don’t be afraid to revise your goals. Don’t worry if you have to recommit to them. And most of all, don’t feel guilty about taking the time to put yourself and your writing practice first. You deserve it.

“Many writers of color carry a sense of guilt or the misperception that writing residencies are ‘luxuries’ that we shouldn’t indulge in,” George said. “The reality is that, by taking the time and availing ourselves of opportunities like writing workshops, residencies, and fellowships, we are able to grow into the writers we are meant to be.”

Reading Lists

Focusing on your craft doesn't have to break the bank.

I was a young MFA student when I attended my first artists’ residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts. I had heard of these places nestled in the woods or in small-town America where writers and artists were provided with a private bedroom and studio space, as well as meals or a meal allowance, with the only expectation that they spent the majority of their time working on their art. 

What I didn’t expect to learn at this residency program was that I could utilize the peace and uninterrupted time offered by a residency to turn inwards and engage in the necessary struggles I had previously avoided in my writing. In my studio overlooking an empty ball field and cobblestoned streets, I was truly alone, with no one else to help me facilitate the actualization of these thoughts and characters I was harboring within myself. Or perhaps I wasn’t exactly alone: At this residency program, I shared the company of other writers, visual artists, and composers with whom I had stimulating and supportive conversations whenever we had the chance. In their company, I was less afraid of being alone with my art, and when the opportunity came to share our work with each other, I felt valued and affirmed in this lonely path I had chosen to pursue.   

Although all residencies are alike in offering the gift of uninterrupted time, each residency is also different in the experiences they offer. Some residencies are located on large estates with numerous walking trails that allow the mind to breathe, while other residencies are situated in small, quiet towns, offering peace and quiet to accepted artists while providing opportunities to interact with the larger community. Many residencies provide their artists with chef-prepared meals, giving residents the chance to forge connections over shared dinners, while some residencies provide meal stipends or leave residents to take care of their own meals, offering residents the opportunity to gather when they choose. Some residencies are designed to be safe havens for women-identifying writers, while other residencies provide a mixing of genders and disciplines. For many of these residencies, there is no cost to attend, while others ask for a minimum daily contribution, depending on one’s ability to pay, or else a one-off fee. All of the residency programs I have included in this list invite applications from international artists and writers, and my experiences at the residencies I’ve attended so far, as a writer from outside the United States, have always been welcoming and supportive. Below are 20 residencies in America, described in their own words, all of which offer unique experiences designed to enrich and sustain.

Djerassi Resident Artists Program in Woodside, California

The Djerassi Resident Artists Program was founded by Dr. Carl Djerassi, Stanford Professor of Chemistry, playwright, passionate patron of the arts, and often referred to as “the father of the pill,” to honor his late daughter Pamela Djerassi, a poet and painter.

Residencies are awarded competitively, at no cost, to national and international artists in the disciplines of choreography, literature, music composition, visual arts, media arts, and science. There are six residency sessions each year: five are 4 weeks long and one is 5 weeks long, which also includes Open House/Open Studios. One session is devoted to the intersection of art and science. No shortened or partial residencies are offered. The Program chef prepares communal dinners Monday through Friday, and provisions both kitchens. Residents prepare their own breakfasts, lunches, and weekend dinners using ingredients supplied by the Program.

Located in Monson, Maine, the last town before the 100-mile wilderness on the Appalachian Trail, Monson Arts provides two-week and four-week residencies for established and emerging artists and writers.

Poetry & Collage Residency 2024

Description.

In January 2022, Kolaj Institute issued a call to artists for a Poetry & Collage Residency and received so many excellent responses that we organized a series of three residencies. In the residencies, we challenged artists to move beyond taxonomical debates. Ric Kasini Kadour said, “What is a poem? We do not need to have a singular answer to that question. Individually we must each answer that question for ourselves. In practice, every poem we make will be an example of what a poem is. In considering other people’s work, we should ask ourselves, How is this a poem?” During the residencies, artists interrogated each other’s artwork, collaborated, and shared ideas. And at the end of it, they sent us more page spreads than could fit into a single book. Impressed and moved by the volume and quality of cultural output and a deep belief that this practice, however you want to describe it, at the intersection of collage and poetry deserves a platform, we decided to create a new journal dedicated to it. 

PoetryXCollage  is a printed journal of artwork and writing that operates at the intersection of poetry and collage. We are interested in found poetry, blackout poetry, collage poems, haikus, centos, response collages, response poems, word scrambles, concrete poetry, scatter collage poems, and other poems and artwork that inhabit this world.

After releasing several volumes of the journal and opening an ongoing call for submissions, we are returning to this residency program as a way to help artists develop their ideas, explore the intersection of collage and poetry, collaborate and form community, and prepare submissions for the journal. This project-driven residency is open to artists and poets.

Kolaj Institute Coordinator, Christopher Kurts will co-lead the residency with artist, poet, and writer, Jennifer Roche. Together they will guide artists in collaborative activities, research and discussion, and understanding the technical needs of design and layout necessary to submit page spreads to the PoetryXCollage Journal. Ric Kasini Kadour will talk about artist practice, the book as a place for collage, and how Kolaj Institute works to diffuse collage and poetry. Rod T. Boyer creates art and poetry under the moniker our thomas, exploring themes of redemption, mystery, and transformation. In Kolaj #32, his article, “Mind the Gap,” explored how collage and haiku share similar mechanisms of juxtaposition and disjunction. He will speak to these themes during the residency.

In four virtual meetings over the course of the month (see schedule below) and through ongoing, online discussion, artists will leave the residency with a deeper understanding of the intersection of collage and poetry. Individual participants will each be invited to create and submit 3-5 page spreads to the PoetryXCollage Journal.

Article Title

Political Homophobia as a State Strategy in Russia

Nikita Sleptcov , Nikita Follow

Publication Date

January 2018

This article examines the current state strategy of political homophobia used by the Russian government to create a sense of national identity by scapegoating Russian homosexuals as "foreign agents," reinforcing the power of the governing elite, and distracting people's attention from government misconduct.

Author Bio(s)

Nikita Sleptcov received his bachelor degree in political science from the Ul'yanovsk State University (Russia) in 2012. While a student, he received multiple awards from the Oxford Russia Fund Scholarship for excellence to support his studies. He also led the Ul'yanovsk Youth Branch of Russian political science association. After graduating, he worked in various political bodies in Russia until 2015 when he received a Fulbright Scholarship. Since then, he is doing his Master's in political science at the University of Louisville, Kentucky. His interests are political homophobia, political usage of homosexuality and sexual citizenship.
