EVENTS

This November, we are excited to offer our second annual no-cost writing residency to four writers at the Chapman House, a property of Station Inn Pawling, hosted in partnership with the Pawling Library. The dates for this year’s residency are Sunday November 15 – Friday November 20. This residency is open to emerging writers of fiction, memoir, poetry, and nonfiction. We define "emerging" to include writers who have not yet published a book-length project and do not have one forthcoming in the next year. The Chapman House has four beautiful suites set in the heart of the charming Village of Pawling. We hope the time away from routine and responsibility will provide fertile ground for creative inspiration. Write, hike on the nearby Appalachian trail, connect with the other writers, soak up small-town life, or just take time to let your brain settle and ideas germinate. We are excited to partner with the Pawling Library to host a public reading and reception featuring the residents on Thursday, November 19. The library will also provide a dedicated workspace for the residents to use for the week. In addition, American Poetry Journal will host a lunch for residents during the week.
