Ledig House International Writers Residency is located approximately two and a half hours north of New York City in the town of Omi, in the scenic Hudson River Valley.
Writers and translators from all fields are encouraged to apply for a residence lasting anywhere from one week to two months.
Up to 20 writers per session (10 at a given time) live and write on the stunning 300 acre grounds and sculpture park that overlooks the Catskill Mountains.
Ledig House provides all meals, and each night a cook prepares dinner.
Days are reserved as quiet hours, while evenings afford a more communal environment.
During each session, several guests from the New York publishing community are invited for dinner and discussion.
Bicycles, a swimming pool and nearby tennis court are available for use.
Unless otherwise arranged, writers must provide their own transportation to and from Ledig House.
A colony car will be sent to pick writers up at the train station in nearby Hudson, New York.
All writers should be proficient in English.
Deadline:
The annual deadline for applications must be postmarked by November 20
