The GWC writer-in-residence is a week-long residency program open to writers of all genres, published or not.  Residencies are held on the last week of the month, beginning on Saturday and ending on Friday. Each writer-in-residence is asked to give a reading or talk, usually on the Wednesday evening of the residency. Residents are asked to make a $75 donation to cover the cost of housekeeping.

To apply, please send an email to Amanda@gloucesterwriters.org.  Please use the subject line “Writer-in-residence application.”
