Writer-in-Residence Program
Since 2018, The Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum in Piggott, Arkansas, has proudly hosted
a writer-in-residence. The residency, typically held in June, includes lodging at
a beautiful loft apartment on the downtown square in Piggott over the City Market
coffee shop. The writer-in-residence will also have the opportunity to work in the
studio where Ernest Hemingway worked on A Farewell to Arms during an extended stay
with his wife’s family in 1928. The residency includes a $1000 stipend to help cover
food and transportation.
The writer-in-residence will be expected to serve as mentor for a week-long retreat for writers at the educational center. This retreat will be open to 8-10 writers from the region. The recipient may be asked to hold one or two readings in the region. The remainder of the month will be free for the writer-in-residence to work independently.
More information on the 2027 Writer-In-Residence will be posted soon.
