Banff Summer Writing Residency – DEADLINE: 2027/02/03

Applications are now open for the 2027 Banff Centre's Summer Writers Residency!

Summer Writers is a 12-day self-directed residency offering dedicated writing time within Banff Centre’s vibrant literary community. Writers receive a personal studio in historic Vinci Hall, a lively clubhouse-style home base where writers gather, work, exchange ideas, and build connections. Each writer is paired with an exceptional faculty mentor for weekly one-on-one consultations, with optional access to faculty talks, Q&As, public reading opportunities, social receptions, and campus events. Designed for writers who value both independence and creative community, this residency invites participants to shape their own experience, whether through focused solo writing, peer-led workshops, informal feedback, lively conversation, and discovery.

This program is designed for emerging and established writers with a proven publication record seeking a period of dedicated time to work on a project in any genre.

The residency suits those focused on:

• working on a specific project.
• creating new works.

Application deadline is February 03, 2027.
