Gladstone’s Library’s competitive Writer in Residence 2018

web site

POSTMARK DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY, 31ST MAY 2017
Now seeking applicants for its seventh year, Gladstone’s Library’s competitive Writer in Residence programme provides space and resources for four writers whose work engages with liberal values. By liberal values, we do not mean views aligned with any one political ideology, but rather:

• a commitment to freedom and social justice;
• tolerance and respect of difference;
• open-mindedness coupled with intellectual curiosity;
• generosity of spirit and a willingness to learn from others.

Through reflection and writing during their stay, Writers in Residence help us redefine liberal values for the 21st Century. Their engagement might be critical, supportive or merely observant. Gladstone was a polymath with interests ranging widely across religion, history, social justice and politics from Classical times to what was, for him, contemporary culture. The scope of these four residencies is equally wide and we welcome fiction and non-fiction writers.

Four places will be awarded to writers working in the English language. The proposed dates of the tenures are February, May, September and November 2018. We like to support writers as best we can and we know that many cannot simply abscond from regular life for a month. Residencies can therefore be taken in two two-week blocks, and residencies of a single fortnight will also be considered. We are also flexible with dates. Please indicate the length and suggested date of Residency on your application.

Writers at all stages of their career should feel able to apply for Residency. We are proud to say that Residencies have supported some of the finest writers in the English language, whether they won for their seventeenth book or their first.

Each residency includes:

• Accommodation in an ensuite room for a period of four consecutive weeks;
• All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and refreshments (telephone calls, alcoholic drinks, packaged snacks and formal Afternoon Tea are not included);
• Travel expenses to and from the Library at the start and end of the residency (HMRC mileage allowance or standard bus/train fares within the UK);
• An honorarium of £100.00 per week.

Each winning author must:

• Attend the official London prizewinning ceremony on Monday, 2nd October 2017;
• Participate, where possible, in any other publicity events held before or after their residency;
• Respond to media/press enquiries as appropriate and by prior agreement with the library’s warden, Peter Francis;
• Submit two blog posts to the Gladstone’s Library website;
• Lead a creative writing workshop to not more than twenty participants;
• Give an evening talk about any aspect of their writing and/or creative life;
• Abide by the normal terms and conditions for guests staying at Gladstone’s Library. 

Terms and Conditions:

Entrants must submit a one page CV/biography, a copy of the book they would like the judges to consider, a 250-word statement about their take on (re)defining ‘liberal values’ and 250-words on the work that they plan to do at the Library as well as their proposal for an evening event and day masterclass.
