To Whom It May Concern,

This may be of interest to your students and/or faculty.

The Baltic Writing Residency is currently accepting applications for the 2013 month-long residency in Riga Latvia. The deadline is December 15th, 2012. Applications can be sent via submishmash (http://balticwritingresidency.submittable.com/submit). The BWR provides $1,000, and a month stay at the Hotel Bergs in Riga, Latvia each summer, for one poet, playwright, or writer of fiction working in English. Though, neither the writer nor their project need be connected with Latvia.

And in March the BWR will begin taking applications for its week-long residency in Brora, Scotland.

Both emerging and established writers are encouraged to apply. Recent finalists and winners range from those who have yet to conceive of their first manuscripts, to writers who have been finalists for the National Book Award and numbered in the New Yorker's "20 Under 40". Previous winners include Salvatore Scibona, Joshua Cohen, Emma Jones, Amity Gaige, Kyle McCord.

Spouses and partners are welcome to accompany the winning writer on the residency. Details about the residency, about Riga, and about the application process can be found on the website:http://www.balticresidency.com/

Please feel free to pass this information on to friends and students.

Best, Adam Day
