Boise City Writer-in-Residence

The Cabin, Boise Public Library, and the Boise City Department of Arts & History invite emerging and mid-career writers to apply for a six-month residency in Boise, Idaho.

Opportunity

The Boise City Writer-In-Residence is a six-month program designed to connect local writers to the community of Boise through literary public programming events hosted once a month. 

The selected Residents will be responsible for developing and facilitating six (6) literary-focused public programs. These public programs may take the form of themed or open writing workshops, reading series, writing explorations, or other literary experiences. Selected Residents will receive a $5,000.00 stipend to support their creative work and time to develop these programs. 

The goal of this Residency is three-fold:

  1. Support local emerging and mid-career writers in their creative practice. 
  2. Providing free and accessible literary programs to the community.
  3. Raise awareness of the services and programs of The Cabin, Boise Public Library, and the Boise City Department of Arts & History.
