Paris Writer’s Residency

The Paris Writer’s Residency will offer a monthlong residency in October to poets, fiction writers, creative nonfiction writers, and translators at the American University of Paris. The resident is provided with an en suite single or double room, which includes a work desk, at the Irish Cultural Center in Paris. Some rooms include a private study space, and residents have access to a shared kitchen. Access to the library at the Ecole Normale Supérieure is also offered. The resident receives travel reimbursement of up to €1,500 (approximately $1,544). To apply, submit a writing sample of up to 3,000 words of poetry or prose, a curriculum vitae, and a personal statement by May 1. Following these guidelines, translators may submit a writing sample of poetry or prose in English along with the matching selection in the original language. There is no application fee.
