Application Deadline: 2021 Tin House Summer Residencies

Each residency will feature two writers at the same time (in separate apartments).

If eligible, you may apply for all of the residencies using this single application.

Tin House Workshop recognizes that the ongoing pandemic makes traveling and timelines more difficult than ever. We’re committed to working with each resident to make their visit as comfortable and safe as possible. Should anyone need to cancel their residency due to COVID concerns, we will still honor the stipend.

Application Requirements (submitted as one document):

A personal essay (1,500 words or less outlining your journey as a writer and description of the project you will be working on) + writing sample.

• Fiction and Nonfiction: One writing sample of no more than 7,000 words. A short story/essay or a portion of a novel/NF project may be submitted. If you are submitting an excerpt, please include a synopsis.
• Poetry: Up to six poems, totaling no more than 20 pages.
• Translation: Please follow the requirements for the genre in the original language and submit both your translation and the original text.
• Graphic Narrative: Project synopsis and up to 30 pages of the project.
• Play/Screenplay: Project synopsis and up to 30 pages of the project.

Please submit something from the project you will be working on during the residency.

No reference letters, please.

As part of our Pay It Forward program, you have the option of helping to cover the cost of another writer’s application fee. All additional funds raised will be carried over to our next residency application period. Thank you!
