Playa Flamingo Writing Residency in Costa Rica

The Playa Flamingo Writing Residency, sponsored by Atmosphere Press, offers two five-day residencies from May to August to poets, fiction writers, nonfiction writers, or translators at the Punta Plata condominium in Playa Flamingo, a white sand beach located in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The residency features space and time to write and an online reading in which residents present their work. Residents are provided with a two-bedroom condo that includes two bathrooms, a full kitchen, a patio, private beach access, and a shared outdoor pool. Residents are responsible for travel costs and meals. To apply, writers submitted a work sample of 5 to 10 pages, a résumé, and a cover letter by February 28. There is no application fee. Visit the website for an application form and more information.

Accessibility accommodations include accessible parking and closed captioning for online programming with advance request. Contact the assistant editor of Atmosphere Press via phone or e-mail for additional accessibility details.
