Hambidge Creative Residency Program

Hambidge offers twelve residencies of two to eight weeks 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, which includes meals. Limited financial aid scholarships and several full or partial merit-based Distinguished Fellowships are available. To apply to residencies from September through December, submit six to eight poems or 12 to 15 pages of prose, a résumé, a 300-word biography, and a residency proposal with a $30 application fee by April 15.
