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 in northwestern Indiana, near Lake Michigan. Residents are provided with a private, air-conditioned room in an 1854 brick Italianate house, ample work space, and access to a library. 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 $300 per week, plus a heating fee during winter months. Submit a completed application form, which includes a writing sample of five to 10 pages, a short curriculum vitae, a project statement, and three references. Space is limited to two or three residents per session; applications are accepted on a rolling basis. There is no application fee. Visit the website for more information.
