Switzerland | Fondation Jan Michalski residency for writers 2025
![](/media/2024/8/Fondation_Jan_Michalski-sml.jpg)
The Fondation Jan Michalski residency for writers, placed at the foot of the Swiss Jura Mountains in Montricher, is now calling for applications for its 2025 edition.
Although open to all kinds of writing and all languages, the residency programme does give priority to literary writers and translators. The residencies can be for either individuals or pairs of participants in the case of projects involving more than one discipline. Each year some 40 authors from around the world, from emerging writers to seasoned veterans, are able to count on a certain period of time dedicated to a literary project.
A percentage of the residencies are dedicated to nature writing, a form of fiction or creative non-fiction that raises awareness of nature, prepares for a sustainable future, and helps to better understand socio-environmental interconnections and the impact of human actions on nature.
Residents are allocated one of the 7 cabins for periods lasting from 2 weeks to 3 months. For projects in pairs, a separate cabin will be assigned to each of the selected candidates. The foundation is not able to welcome families, children or pets. There is one cabin available for people with reduced mobility.
What is provided?
- Travel costs
- A weekly allowance of 400 CHF
