During the summer and winter residencies, you’ll immerse yourself in the writer’s life, meeting with peers and nationally known writers, giving and listening to readings, participating in critiques, and writing in truly inspirational settings that are steeped in literary history.
Our residencies, held on Star Island in the Isles of Shoals in the summer and at the Mountain Grand View Resort in the winter, offer wonderful energy, a sense of adventure and an experience that will nurture your creativity and provide opportunities for quiet reflection, intimacy and inspiration.
Join us in a setting steeped in 19th-century décor and nestled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire for the four-day M.F.A. winter residency. The Mountain View Grand Resort’s libraries, candlelit corners and quiet nooks offer the perfect setting for writing and reflection. Warm up from outdoor adventures during fireside readings with your peers and noted authors.
