Taleamor Park

Taleamor Park offers two-week to 12-month residencies year-round to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers on a working grain farm and nature preserve with walking paths in northwestern Indiana, near Lake Michigan and Chicago. Residents are provided with a private, air-conditioned room in an 1854 brick Italianate house, ample work space, and access to Taleamor’s library and to the La Porte County Public Library; each resident will be housed on a separate floor with their own kitchen and bathroom for COVID-safety reasons. Meals and travel expenses are not included, though grocery deliveries are available. Residents must also provide their own transportation. The cost of the residency is $450 per week. Opportunities for work exchange may be available based on financial need and demonstrated skills. Submit a completed application form, which includes a writing sample of 5 to 10 pages (in any language), a short curriculum vitae, a project statement, and three references. The program supports two to three residents at a time; applications are accepted on a rolling basis. There is no application fee. Visit the website for more information.
