Jentel Artist Residency

The Jentel Foundation offers three-week residencies from mid-January to mid-December to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers in the scenic foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, 20 miles southeast of Sheridan, Wyoming. Writers age 25 or older who reside in the United States (or are U.S. citizens living abroad) and who are not currently enrolled at an academic institution are eligible. Each resident is provided with a private room, a separate studio, a $300 stipend, and access to a shared library, recreation area, kitchen, and living area. To apply for residencies from May 15 to December 7, submit up to 10 pages of poetry or no more than 20 pages of prose, a résumé, and contact information for three references with a $30 application fee by January 15.
