"My first book was born at a writing residency-where uninterrupted time and a supportive community of other creatives helped me push past the stuck places. Many reputable residencies are fully (or near-fully) funded, with applications cycles throughout the year. They're often seeking a mix of emerging, midcareer and established writers, and they're not just for novelists with book deals or poets with M.F.A. degrees."
"Writing residencies are for historians drafting narrative nonfiction, scientists experimenting with essays and scholars from a range of disciplines learning how to translate research into public argument. Some offer cabins in the woods; others provide desks in city centers. Some fund you generously; others offer subsistence while releasing you from your daily routine. All make the implicit suggestion that your writing deserves focused attention."
Residencies offer uninterrupted time and supportive communities that help creatives overcome stalled projects. Many reputable programs are fully or nearly funded and run application cycles year-round. Programs seek a mix of emerging, midcareer, and established practitioners across disciplines, including historians drafting narrative nonfiction, scientists experimenting with essays, and scholars translating research into public argument. Facilities range from cabins in the woods to desks in city centers, and funding varies from generous stipends to subsistence-level support that frees participants from daily responsibilities. A curated list of 32 residencies includes classic programs with immersive stays and themed options focused on public-minded topics like environment and climate.
