About the Open Call

The Conjunctions Residency recognizes and supports writers of poetry, fiction, essays, and hybrid literary works who have a publication history and a commitment to helping other writers. Located at the Hemlock Neversink hotel on a 230-acre campus, the residency provides a private retreat with all meals included. The selected resident will lead a workshop at the Livingston Manor-Roscoe Public Library, give a public reading at Catskill Art Space, and be published in Conjunctions online.
