Maybe you’re post-MFA or you just need a quiet place of your own away from life’s distractions to focus on your project. A writing residency can give you just that. In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll cover how to find residencies, what to prepare for applications, and what to expect once you’re there to maximize your time. We’ll save time for Q&A as well as provide a prompt to get you started on your artist statement.
