Taleamor Park

Taleamor Park offers two- to four-week residencies from April to September to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers on a working grain farm and nature preserve with walking paths in northwestern Indiana between the towns of La Porte and Rolling Prairie, near Lake Michigan and Chicago. Residents are provided with a private room in a restored 1854 brick Italianate house, work space, and a shared kitchen and bathroom. Residents have access to Taleamor’s library and the La Porte County Public Library. Meals and travel expenses are not included; grocery deliveries are available. Residents are responsible for their transportation. The cost of the residency is $350 per week. Opportunities for work exchange may be available based on financial need and demonstrated skills. To apply, submit 5 to 10 pages of poetry or prose, a curriculum vitae, a project statement, and contact information for three references. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
