Writers Residencies


The Academi's Literature Residencies scheme helps fund sustained period of works by one or more writers in a single location or on a single project. These may run at schools in a cluster group, at youth clubs or libraries, at a group of day centres or old people's homes, etc. The Literature Residencies scheme enables organisers to plan more intensive programmes to connect writers with community groups of all kinds. The opportunity is usually given for participants to have sustained contact with a writer or writers across a period of time. Literature Residencies are funded in a similar manner to the Academi's Writers On Tour Scheme. Guidelines are available on request.

Please contact us to discuss the planning and feasibility of any literature residency you may have in mind: post@academi.org
