Edith Wharton Writing Residency

The Edith Wharton & Straw Dog Writers Guild Writing Residency offers one-week residencies during the month of March to nine emerging poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers. Selected writers will receive a $500 stipend, travel reimbursement up to $250, dedicated workspaces at The Mount, and lodging at a neighboring inn in the Berkshires. This residency is hosted by The Mount, the former home of Edith Wharton, a 1902 Georgian revival mansion in Lenox, Massachusetts.
