Associated Residency Program
In the heart of Door County, on Wisconsin's northeast peninsula, nestled between the waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan, writers can find the peace and solitude to focus on their craft. Write On offers a space of inspiration and reflection on 59 acres of meadows, orchards, and woods.
We invite applications from writers in any genre, regardless of publication history. We also welcome literary arts administrators who need time to focus on upcoming projects. Writers traveling with children or other family members are welcome to apply.
Write On is a small residency program, typically housing one to three writers at a time. We encourage collaborative residencies, though each writer must submit an individual application. There are two spacious bedrooms with a shared bath on the second floor. The first floor contains a one-bedroom suite with full bath as well as shared eat-in kitchen and living room.
Additional creative space can be found in The Coop, located in the residency meadow, and in the writing center, located across the street.
