Join us tonight form 7:30-9PM EST we’ve got a special workshop on all things Writing Residencies:
Curious about writing residencies? In this workshop, we will go over different residency models and what they have to offer, from art communities to DIY and micro-residencies. We will discuss how to assess whether you are in the right season of your life and practice to apply, what residency model makes the most sense for you, and navigating residencies as a full-time worker or caregiver. Participants will leave with resources on where to find open calls, funding opportunities, and application dos and don’ts.
