Ledig House

Residency for writers and translators
http://www.artomi.org/ledig.php

At Ledig House we welcome published writers and translators of every type
of literature. International, cultural and creative exchange is a
foundation of our mission, and a wide distribution of national background
is an important part of our selection process.
Guests may select a residency of one week to two months; about ten at a
time gather to live and work in a rural setting overlooking the Catskill
Mountains. Ledig House provides all meals, and each night a local chef
prepares dinner. Daytime is reserved for writing and quiet activities,
while evenings are more communal.

The residency covers all the costs (room, food, programming, etc.), except
the travel costs.

A program of weekly visits bring guests from the New York publishing
com-munity. Noted editors, agents and book scouts are invited to share
dinner and conversation on both creative and practical subjects, offering
insight into the workings of the publishing industry, and introductions to
some of its key professionals.

Ledig House has hosted hundreds of writers and translators from roughly 50
countries around the world. The colony's strong international emphasis
reflects the spirit of cultural exchange that is part of Ledig's enduring
legacy.
