Topic:
•Literary Readings, and
•Author Residencies.
Eligible:
Applicants must demonstrate that they have the organizational and financial capacities to host a professionally published Canadian writer in an effective and professional manner. Hosts are encouraged to develop public lecture series or innovative ways of fostering public appreciation for Canadian writing as part of the activities planned for the writer-in-residence. Innovative residencies that involve communities not typically exposed to Canadian literature are particularly encouraged. Residencies involving writers from outside the host’s city are also strongly encouraged.
Before applying to the program, host organizations must contact their proposed author to obtain his or her agreement to fulfil the terms of the author residency. A written agreement between the host and the author must be signed and included in the application. Authors do not have to be selected through a call-for-proposals process.
Hosts must also determine whether the writers are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada and whether they have been published professionally before the application deadline.
