Every winter the Sangam House Writer's Residency Program invites approximately twenty writers to live and work on the Adishakti property outside Pondicherry, on the east coast of southern India. Lodging (single rooms) and food will be provided free of charge. Each writer is responsible for travel costs to and from Pondicherry. However, travel funds and bursaries are available through various cultural organizations.
Residencies are structured in 1-3 month intervals, determined by individual needs. We recommend a residence period of no less than 3 weeks for each writer. Of the invited writers, half come from the South Asian subcontinent (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka) and half from other countries around the world. Sangam House is open to writers in all languages and disciplines. The next session will run for approximately three months from mid-November 2010 to mid-February 2011.
Deadline: July 31, 2010 (All materials must be post-marked by this date.)
In addition to general applications, Sangam House offers a select amount of specific fellowships. Details about these fellowships are provided on the site. Please note that all applications will automatically be considered for the appropriate and relevant fellowships.
All South Asian writers resident in the subcontinent should submit to:

All other writers should submit to:
