Association of Writing Residents

The Association of Writing Residents (AWR) is an organization that supports writers who participate in specialized training programs called writing residencies. These residencies offer writers dedicated time and space to focus on their creative work, often as part of an organized community or institution. AWR advocates for the interests, development, and recognition of writing residents, fostering a network where they can share resources, collaborate, and promote the value of dedicated residency programs in advancing literary and creative arts.
