The Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum and Educational Center at Arkansas State University will offer a one-month-long residency during June to poets, fiction writers, creative nonfiction writers, and translators in Piggott, Arkansas. The residency includes a loft apartment on the downtown square in Piggott, a $1,000 stipend to help cover food and transportation costs, and the opportunity to write in the studio where Ernest Hemingway worked on A Farewell to Arms in 1928. Public health guidelines permitting, the writer-in-residence will serve as a mentor for a weeklong retreat for 8 to 10 writers at the education center. The resident may also be asked to hold one or two readings in the region. Writers with an MA or MFA in a relevant field are preferred. Writers submitted a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and writing sample of roughly 20 pages via e-mail to Adam Long by February 28. There was no application fee. Visit the website for more information.
Accessibility accommodations include elevators in all museum spaces; alternate lodging, if necessary; accessible sidewalks, pathways, and doorways; accessible bathrooms within the museum; and multiple marked accessible parking spaces.
