Submissions are currently open for the Paris Review's Writer-in-Residence program [5]. Cosponsored by the Standard’s East Village hotel [6] in New York City, the three-week residency, valued at $7,500, is given to a poet, a fiction writer, or a creative nonfiction writer with a book under contract. The resident will receive a room free of charge at the Standard’s East Village hotel for the first three weeks in July, as well as breakfasts, unlimited coffee, and a small reception at the end of the residency.

To apply, submit a description and sample of the work-in-progress totaling no more than 50 pages, a letter from the publisher confirming that the work is under contract, a brief letter of intent, and an optional sample of previous work totaling no more than 50 pages by May 1. All materials must be submitted electronically to residency@theparisreview.org [7]. The editors of the Paris Review [8] and Standard Culture [9] will judge.

The residency program was launched in the fall of 2013. The inaugural resident, fiction writer Lysley Tenorio [10] of San Francisco, spent three weeks in January [11] at the Standard’s East Village hotel working on his novel.

The winner will be announced on June 7, 2014.
