Yaddo

Yaddo offers two- to eight-week residencies year-round to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers on a 400-acre estate in Saratoga Springs, New York. Residents are provided with a private bedroom, work space, and meals. To apply for residencies from May 2025 through March 2026, submit up to 10 short poems or an excerpt of a longer poem totaling no more than 10 pages, or up to 20 pages of prose with a $30 application fee (an added fee of $5 to $10 for media uploads may apply) by January 10, 2025. A two-page preview of the work sample is also required. A limited number of access grants intended to offset the cost of traveling to the residency are available. Visit the website for an application form and complete guidelines.

Accessibility accommodations include freestanding studios with both a bedroom and work space under one roof as well as an accessible library, video room, and dining room. Contact the program director via phone or e-mail for additional accessibility details.
