Atlantic Center for the Arts Residency Program

The Atlantic Center for the Arts offers residencies three times a year to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers on a 69-acre ecological preserve of pine forests and palmettos in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Residents are provided with studio space and technical support to write without interruption, aside from two-hour daily meetings with a Master Artist. The October 14 to November 3 residency with Mark Doty is intended for poets and memoirists. The fee is $900, which includes lodging and meals. Financial aid is available. Submit five poems, a letter of intent, and a résumé with a $25 application fee by May 19. Visit the website for an application and complete guidelines.
