Writer in Residence programs host a writer who spends their residency interacting with the community. Writers in Residence usually offer individual manuscript consultations, as well as hosting public events. We encourage writers to make use of Writer in Residence programs in their community. 

Across Canada there are several different programs for Writers in Residence. Positions vary from institution to institution. This page provides a list of residencies from across Canada.
