Literary residence
It’s our pleasure to invite writers to the literary residence in Kuldiga (Latvia).
How does it work?
Being in the residence, you will write stories and essays. We will provide all the living conditions – scenic space, entertainment, and, of course, food. This is not an ordinary residence, where they compose a little in the morning and drink a lot in the evening. This is the autumn writing lab. Five days of complete freedom, the other five - complete freedom, plus lectures, conversations and readings.
What kind of lectures?
Who are we waiting for?
We gather a small group: ten to twelve people. It doesn't matter where you live, it's important to write in Russian. We also respect philosophers, poets and playwrights, but this time, only prose writers are expected.
01.
Write shortly about yourself, 1000 characters are enough
02.
Put links to your books and publications. If you don’t have them, attach a text document. Please, no more than 10 000 characters.
