Margery Davis Boyden Wilderness Writing Residency

The Margery Davis Boyden Wilderness Writing Residency, administered by PEN Northwest, offers a seven-month residency from April through October to a poet or prose writer, or pair of writers, at Dutch Henry Homestead in the Rogue River Canyon of southwest Oregon. Residents are provided with private lodging, including two small bedrooms, a sleeping loft, a living room with a kitchen, a bathroom, and a roof-deck, on 92 acres of forest and meadow. One hour of general homestead maintenance is required each day. Residents will also receive a stipend of at least $3,500. To apply for the 2025 residency, writers submitted three copies of up to 10 pages of poetry or 20 pages of prose, a résumé, and a statement of interest with a $30 entry fee ($50 for two-person applications) by March 15.
