Writers

VSC accepts 12 writers each month for poetry, fiction, and nonfiction Residencies. Writers working in journalism, screen and playwriting, children's literature, or translation may also apply, but are not eligible for Full Fellowship awards.

Each VSC Writing Resident receives:

• A private studio in the new Maverick Writing Studios building, including a networked printer and wireless internet access
• The presence of two Visiting Writers per month, each of whom gives a reading and a craft talk and offers optional individual conferences to those residents accepted in the Visitors' primary genre (cross-genre conferences will only be scheduled at the discretion of each Visitor once he or she arrives)
• Access to the Mason House Conference Room & Library

Resident Readings

Writing Residents may sign up for one of the three readings scheduled each month as an opportunity to share work.

Maverick Studios

Writers are provided with private studios in the Maverick Writing building, overlooking the Gihon River.
