Selected literary residencies

Ljubljana, a UNESCO City of Literature since 2015, offers two one-month residencies for writers at the Švicarija/Swisshouse Creative Centre, which is part of the International Centre of Graphic Arts. The residency is aimed at foreign published writers with a traceable connection to any of the other UNESCO Cities of Literature. Applicants must have published at least one book of fiction in their language. Each resident will receive a stipend and travel expenses, as well as the opportunity to take advantage of public programs, studio facilities, and collaboration offers at the Creative Center.
