THANK YOU!

The purpose of The Garden House Writing Residency is to create dedicated time in a peaceful environment for fellows to pour energy into our respective writing projects. Fellows are intergenerational, mostly queer, mostly women of color writers who share a commitment to collective wellness and who—despite barriers—are working to complete and release more of our creative work to the world.

As the Organizer of The Garden House Writing Residency, I’ve created what I need and have extended an invitation in the form of a fellowship to other writers who share that need. This opportunity creates access to something that is often out of reach due to financial strains, intense workloads, hefty family obligations, and other obstacles.

The core tenets of The Garden House Writers Residency are devotion to writing, tending visions, presence, and care. We now have the benefit of two years of program development to build from. We are applying lessons learned, with the goal of honoring capacity by scaling back from two weeks to ten days, and from five fellows to three. This vision requires the support of donors to become a reality. A breakdown of costs covering room & board, materials, faciliation, and logistical coordination are as follows.

$325 = cost of one writer for one day
$975 = cost of all writers for one day
$3,250 = cost of one writer’s entire residency

$9,750 = cost for all writers for the entire residency
