Residency & Funding Resources for Parent Writers

Time is money and time for writing can be particularly expensive at a formal residency, especially considering daycare costs back home. I blogged for Minerva Rising about a Do-It-Yourself Residency with a fiction writer at her home in Indianapolis. As two parents who write, the quiet time was incredibly helpful to our writing. If you are thinking about setting up your own, inexpensive writing residency, I hope you'll read through the post and the links.

Here are some more parent-writer-friendly-resources for residencies. What else would you recommend?

Millay Colony’s Virtual Residency

Island Hill House (accepts children/caregivers)

Caldera Residency (accepts children/caregivers)

Sustainable Arts Foundation (grants)

Vermont Studio Center (residency and grant for childcare)
