Residencies

The NCW residency programme encompasses in-person and virtual residencies for writers and translators. We work with a wide range of partners and funders to support NCW residencies and exchanges, and we also publicise opportunities for creatives to take part in residencies with fellow UNESCO Cities of Literature around the world.

What is the NCW residency programme?

Hear from NCW Associate Programme Director Kate Griffin and previous NCW residents on the different strands of our residencies, the benefits, and how we share and facilitate opportunities for writers and literary translators.

Dragon Hall residencies

Throughout the year, we offer residencies in Norwich to writers and translators from the UK and around the world, introducing them to local writers and translators at the monthly Dragon Hall Social.

In-person residencies are hosted in the Cottage, part of the Dragon Hall campus, and generally last between one week and one month. You can discover more about the Cottage here →

Details of our current Dragon Hall residents and the projects they are working on are found below.

We will be hosting our first Dragon Hall Retreats from February-March 2024, for creative writers and literary translators to spend time living and working in our Cottage. Each Retreat is a unique escape and an investment in your writing.
