Writers Full Stipend


In 2004, we began a
Full Stipend programme for writers.

Can Serrat's annually provides two writers with a private room (all meals included) for a 30 day period.
The residency is open to writers in all fields regardless of nationality or age. All chosen writers have the opportunity to do a reading at the centre. The writers-in-residence are responsible for all extra personal living expenses, travel costs, telephone charges and any other expenses during their stay. Travel expenses to and from Can Serrat are also the responsibility of the writers.

Calendar
Each recipient may choose a 30 day time slot for any period of the year, dating up to 12 months from the time of original notification (assuming space is available at that time).

Residency requirements
During their stay at Can Serrat, the selected
writer is asked to give at least one informal lecture concerning their work, open to the public in general
.
