This 19-day self-directed residency offers the opportunity to work away from the constraints of everyday life, delve deep into a creative project and take advantage of a community of artistic peers.

Deep Winter Writers provides opportunities for consultations with exceptional mentors Karen Solie, Yasmine Seale, and Renee Gladman, and professional guest Rita Bullwinkel (McSweeney's), as well as optional group sessions that allow writers to explore useful literary tools, aspects, and devices.

Faculty are on-campus for the first two weeks of the residency. The third week allows residents to dive deeper into their writing and apply the learning from the first two weeks.

Scholarhsips are available.
