Check out Rosemary’s Legacy and read about its impact on some of our invited writers.

We seek out individuals who have a clear story that they want to tell. Our ideal applicants are those who articulate detailed reasons for wanting to join our residency, demonstrating a strong motivation to grow and develop as writers. We value those who have experimented across different genres or mediums, showing a willingness to explore and expand their creative boundaries.

Curiosity is a key trait we admire. Rosemary’s is more than a place to write; it's a community where learning, sharing, and mutual growth are fundamental.

We encourage applicants who are not just looking for a space to write but are eager to be part of a dynamic, supportive community. Our residency is designed for those who are committed to their craft and are ready to engage with fellow writers in a collaborative and enriching environment.

Within the community we cultivate, we value a diversity of styles, life experiences, areas of interest, and perspectives.

Yes, you can apply to multiple residencies. We will ask you to list your selections in order of preference on your application. In the rare case that you are admitted to multiple weeks, you would be able to attend for two consecutive weeks.

Absolutely! We coordinate transportation to and from the airport, and this transfer is included in the cost of tuition.

Our team has worked hard to ensure that our tuition and lodging are truly all-inclusive, catering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and including all activities. We can liase with our local hotel partners to book treatments at their spa. External bookings like these or solo dinner reservations would be out of pocket, as they don’t fall within our residency’s programming.

We will ask all attending writers to submit a piece or excerpt that they would look like to be reviewed by the guest fellow and the group, one month before the start date of the residency. If you do not submit something for review, we will forego your workshop slot. After submitting your work, we ask that you read and reflect on the work of the other attending writers. Each guest fellow will also assign one book or piece of media for everyone in the cohort to enjoy before attending. Upon arriving at Rosemary’s House, you will receive a printed copy of everyone’s submissions.

As soon as possible! Our admissions office accepts on a rolling basis, so we cannot guarantee that spots will remain open or that our team will be able to review all applications, once spaces have filled.

To secure your spot, we will ask that you provide a €995 deposit, within ten days of acceptance. If there are extenuating circumstances, our team is here to work with writers on an individual basis. Your choice of accommodation will not impact the initial deposit amount.

Our admissions office meets weekly to review applications. We will endeavor to get back to you as soon as we can, as we know that international travel requires planning.

It is our highest priority that Rosemary’s House remain both a physically and emotionally safe environment. We mandate that all participants sign and adhere to a code of conduct. We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination of any kind.

With such a competitive scholarship pool in 2024, we have currently awarded our internal 2025 scholarships. That being said, Rosemary’s House is currently seeking out additional scholarship partners and provides documentation and letters of recommendation for external awards. Last year, close to 25% of our attending writers were awarded external aid with RH’s support and endorsement. RH is additionally excited to offer interest-free payment plans, so if accepted, please inquire to our admissions and accounting team.
