Has COVID-19 impacted your ability to find time and space to write?
Apply for a seat in our Gastown office, where you’ll be able to split your time between working on your own project and contributing to a community of Geist readers.
As our writer-in-residence, you will:
- Have a desk in our office space, as well as access to our collection of books and literary magazines to borrow
- Have time to work on your own writing project (approx. 50% of your time at Geist)
- Work with an editor to develop a dispatch for an upcoming issue
- Plan and host in-person workshops or events that engage the literary community
- Help name our collection of office plants
This Writer-in-Residence program is only open to those who self-identify as women, trans, or non-binary. There are two, 4-month positions. We are able to offer each writer an honorarium of $10,000 for the duration of the residency.
The deadline for applications is June 15th at 11:59 pm.
Geist, 210-111 West Hastings Street, Vancouver BC V6B 1H4.
