And here’s a little peek at some of their already-published work:

I’m gobsmacked. Every year! Absolutely gobsmacked every year by how much talent is out there. We received just over 500 applications this summer (!!) and Steven and I spent daaaaaaays reading and discussing and rereading and whittling our epic long list down to these twenty-four people.

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to apply. I know it’s a short and free application but still, putting your art out there for something like this takes effort and heart and we are totally humbled and inspired by it. By you.

We’ve got just a few more weeks of regular business over here at the Spruceton Inn, and then we’ll cap off our season in November with four weeks of this Residency. It’s the BEST way to round out our year. I’m so excited to host all these amazing minds here.
