Hambidge Creative Residency Program

Hambidge offers residencies of two weeks to two months from February through December to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers on 600 forested acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northern Georgia. Each resident is provided with a private cottage, which includes a bedroom, a studio, a full kitchen, and a bathroom. The cost of the residency is $250 per week; meals are included. Limited financial aid scholarships and several merit-based Distinguished Fellowships were available. To apply for residencies from June to August, writers submitted six to eight poems of any length or 10 to 15 pages of prose, a résumé, a brief bio, and a residency proposal with a $30 application fee by January 15.
