What does Academi fund?

Literature Residencies

The Academi’s Literature Residencies scheme helps fund sustained periods of work by one or more writers in a single location or on a single project. These may run at individual schools or in a cluster group, at youth clubs or libraries, at a group of day centres or old people’s homes, etc.

The Literature Residencies scheme enables organisers to plan more intensive programmes to connect writers with community groups of all kinds. The opportunity is usually given for participants to have sustained contact with a writer or writers across a period of time. Writers Residencies are funded in a similar manner to the Academi’s Writers On Tour Scheme: please view the funding guidelines section on the menu to the left.
