Selected literary residencies

The Hungarian Writers‘ Residence has different residencies for writers all over the country: in Vácrátót, Pécs, Pannonhalma, Nyíregyháza, Kapolcs and Debrecen. The program in Balatonfüred is reserved for translators only. The goal is to spread knowledge of Hungary and Hungarian literature and to build connections from Hungary to the rest of the world. Residency length varies depending on the city of residence.

The Visegrad Literary Residency Program consists of a series of residency stays and literary events. It is aimed at writers of fiction and non-fiction, poets, essayists, critics, literary translators, publicists, and journalists from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. The residency program enables 32 literary residents to carry out their literary projects at four host institutions in spring or autumn.
