Sessions

The sessions last four weeks and run from the beginning of June to mid-September. There are four in all.

Writers must apply for a specific session and are asked to indicate second and third choices. However, the latter choices should be dates that would also work for the applicant. While all efforts will be made to satisfy a first choice, it is not always possible and in no way reflects an evaluation of the writer.

Who can apply

A writer must have published at least one book (not self-published) in any of the following creative fields:

• fiction
• creative nonfiction
• poetry
• translation
• plays
• screenplays

Regardless of country of origin, the applicant must be fluent in speaking either English or French.
