Now in its eleventh year, the Adirondack Center for Writing offers a **free**, two-week residency to six writers (2 poets, 2 fiction writers, and 2 non-fiction writers) at a lodge on Twitchell Lake in New York state, where author Anne LaBastille wrote the _Woodswoman_ series. Enjoy unfettered time to write, explore, relax, and share family-style meals in community with other writers. 

  
Six residents will be chosen: three from the Adirondack region and three from anywhere in the world. For more information about what constitutes the Adirondack region, see the FAQ below.

  
**Residency Dates:** September 22 – October 6, 2024

  
The residency is generously provided by the estate of Anne LaBastille, who wrote books capturing the beauty and challenges of the region, including _Woodswoman_ and _Beyond Black Bear Lake_ from her cabin on Twitchell Lake. During the residency, writers can take a short paddle to the site of her property and explore the forest where she researched and wrote her books.
