Upcoming residency dates:

2013 Fall Residency (Madison, NJ campus) - August 2-11
2014 Spring Residency (Wroxton, England) - January 4-14

A typical ten-day residency provides a variety of activities, especially frequent meetings with the student's faculty mentor to review work and to plan for the upcoming modules. In addition, there are readings by visiting writers, readings by faculty or students, lectures, panels, workshops, and opportunities to evaluate submissions to The Literary Review. There also are several hours of unscheduled time for writing, revision, and informal interaction. The Wroxton residency may arrange special events, such as a dinner in Stratford and a play at the Royal Shakespeare Company or a trip to London.
