Open call for writers residency in Switzerland

Deadline: 15 September 2019


The Jan Michalski Foundation is inviting applications for its fourth annual writers’ residency program. The residencies take place at the foot of Switzerland’s Jura Mountains and the selected writers each live and work in modern treehouses.

Writers from around the world are invited to apply, and applications from new or emerging writers are welcome.

Residencies can run from between two weeks and six months, and the length of stay should match the scope of the project.

As well as receiving accommodation in their own treehouse, residents will be paid a monthly allowance of 1200 Swiss Francs (approximately US$1200). Travel expenses will also be covered by the foundation and daily breakfasts and lunches are provided. Residents can also participate in cultural activities organised by the Foundation.

Criteria of qualification:

the quality of the project
the candidate’s professional background
whether or not the duration of the stay matches the scope of the project.

No entry fee
