Craigardan offers two-week to one-month residencies year-round to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers at Craigardan, a nonprofit arts and agricultural academic center in Keene, located on Hurricane Mountain in the Adirondack region of New York. The resident will receive lodging in a private cabin or shared farmhouse with a shared kitchen and bath. Craigardan accommodates one writer at a time. The cost of the residency, which includes some meals, is $250 per week or $1,000 per month. Submit a sample of original poetry or prose of any length with the required application form, a résumé or CV, a statement of intent, and two references. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. There is no application fee. To apply for a Creative Writing Fellowship, which covers all residency fees for up to one month, submit two additional writing samples, a cover letter, and links to press, awards, or accolades, by April 1 for a summer fellowship or September 1 for a winter fellowship.
