Funded by the Jerwood Foundation, Arvon is pleased to announce the Jerwood Arvon Writer Residencies, a new talent development programme for emerging writers.
The residencies will support 12 writers working in fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry and playwriting, giving them the opportunity to bring a project to completion over the course of the self-guided 18-month programme.
Each Residency is fully funded and consists of two Residential Writing Courses, one Online Writing Week or Online Writing Month, ten online Masterclasses, and much more. Resident writers will be able to select the courses they wish to attend from Arvon’s public programme, tailoring the experience to their individual creative goals.
If you could not attend an Arvon course without financial help, or are from a background underrepresented in mainstream publishing, then we especially encourage you to apply.
Writers must be aged 18+ and based in the UK.
Applications open on Monday 20th October 2025.
