SUMMARY:Fellowship: The Marguerite and Lamar Smith Fellowship for Writers and Musicians
DESCRIPTION:Named in honor of Carson’s parents\, The Marguerite and Lamar Smith Fellowship for Writers was inspired by McCullers’s experience at the Breadloaf Writer’s Conference in Vermont\, especially the Yaddo Arts Colony in Saratoga Springs\, New York. To honor the contribution of these writers’ residences to McCullers’s work\, the Carson McCullers Center for Writers and Musicians awards fellowships for writers to study in her childhood home in Columbus\, Georgia. The fellowships are intended to afford the writers in residence uninterrupted time to focus on their work\, free from the distractions of daily life and other professional responsibilities. \nThe Marguerite and Lamar Fellowship for Writers is offered during fall semester. The fellowship begins the first of September and ends the first of December. During this time\, the writing fellow will reside in a spacious private apartment inside Carson McCullers’s childhood home\, the Smith-McCullers House. The fellow is provided with a stipend of $5\,000 to cover costs of transportation\, food and other incidentals. Fellowship recipients are encouraged to take an active role in the community and to meet informally with students and local residents interested in writing. The fellow will work with the McCullers Center director to plan a presentation near the end of the residency. \nDeadline: Apr. 1\, 2026

SUMMARY:Event: Short Fiction Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The next ENSFR short fiction reading group meeting will take place (via Zoom) on Monday 20th April at 5pm (UK time). Below\, you can find information on how to join the online meeting room. I have attached an iCalendar file that you can add to your calendar. \nDuring the meeting\, we will be discussing my reading suggestion: the short story “The Debutante” by Leonora Carrington. It is a very short story at just 2\,5 pages long. You can access the short story from this link: https://biblioklept.org/2014/01/05/the-debutante-a-short-story-by-leonora-carrington/ \nOur conversation will focus on the following key questions that I have selected: \n\nWhat is the tone of this short story (e.g.\, serious/funny/…)?\nIs there a sentence in this short story that you particularly like or find particularly important? Why?\nDo you as a reader identify with the main character?\n“The Debutante” has a concern for appearance\, for the social significance of acting in particular ways\, culturally approved as “feminine” behaviour. Can you find evidence of this concern in the short story?\nCan you describe the relationship between the pairs “nature and culture” and between “human beings and animals” in this short story?\nWhat do you think of the short story’s ending?\n\nThose who are interested in exploring the work further might want to watch Elizabeth Hobbs’ short\, animated film based on Carrington’s short story (https://vimeo.com/940848616). It is not mandatory to watch the film in preparation for the meeting. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82016619781?pwd=rvpnvMHbD3oAcdooYh7luRWP75pb2T.1 \nMeeting ID: 820 1661 9781 \nPasscode: 013348

SUMMARY:Event: ENSFR reading group\, June meeting
DESCRIPTION:The next short fiction reading group meeting will take place (via Zoom) on Monday 1st June at 5pm (UK time). Below\, you can find information on how to join the online meeting room. I have attached an iCalendar file that you can add to your calendar. \nDuring the meeting\, we will be discussing Julie-Ann’s reading suggestion: the short story “Death by Landscape” by Margaret Atwood. You can access the short story from this link: \nhttps://223141929335512656.weebly.com/uploads/1/7/0/9/17093284/deathbylandscape_atwood.pdf \nOur conversation will focus on the following discussion points that Julie-Ann has selected: \n\nThe story opens in a domestic interior but moves to a landscape of ‘wilderness’. How are these two contrasting spaces integral to the story?\nIs there a power dynamic in the friendship between Lois and Lucy?\nWhat is significant about the presentation of the camp and the language Atwood uses?\nDoes this story fit the category of bildungsroman?\nHow does Atwood explore ideas of colonisation?\nIn the following quote bodily absence is made significant. How does this idea relate to the wider societal conceptualisation of the female body through art\, culture and mass media? How are female bodies represented elsewhere in the story?\n\n“But a dead person is a body; a body occupies space\, it exists somewhere. You can see it; you put it in a box and bury it in the ground\, and then it’s in a box in the ground. But Lucy is not in a box or in the ground. Because she is nowhere definite\, she could be any where.” \n\nStructurally the story moves from present to past to present\, using character memory to explicate the main story. How does ‘framing’ the past within the present impact ideas and meanings?\nThe story ends with a mystery? Is the reader invited to play detective?\n\nThose who are interested in exploring the work further might want to read Atwood’s collection Wilderness Tips which also features “Death by Landscape”. Many of the other short stories in the collection are worth reading in conjunction\, particularly “True Trash”. This is a recommendation by Julie-Ann. It is not mandatory to read further short stories for the meeting. \n— \nInes Gstrein is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nTopic:  Short Fiction Reading Group – June 2026 \nTime: Jun 1\, 2026 05:00 PM London \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85116499205?pwd=hx6KiEeoOcdhPibo4Egw3770UQhger.1

SUMMARY:Residency: Jan Michalski Foundation Application Dates
DESCRIPTION:The Jan Michalski Foundation’s residency for writers is designed to provide an environment for literary creation and to support those involved in the written word. \n\n\nThe Foundation features a group of seven distinctive residential modules that are available for writers and translators invited for residencies of varying lengths of time. Hanging from the openwork “canopy” that runs above the Foundation\, these units are called “cabins” and offer ideal conditions to anyone who is looking to start\, continue working on\, or put the finishing touches to a writing project. \nAlthough open to all kinds of writing and all languages\, the residency program does give priority to literary writers and translators. The residencies can be for either individuals or pairs of participants in the case of projects involving more than one discipline. Each year some forty authors from around the world\, from emerging writers to seasoned veterans\, are able to count on a certain period of time dedicated to a literary project. \nA percentage of the residencies are dedicated to nature writing\, a form of fiction or creative non-fiction that raises awareness of nature\, prepares for a sustainable future\, and helps to better understand socio-environmental interconnections and the impact of human actions on nature. \n\n\n\nBecome a resident\n\n\nGeneral Terms and Conditions\n\nResidences are available for all types of writers engaged in literary creation. While we give priority to writers and translators\, we are also open to other disciplines as long as literature is at the heart of the project. Stays in the Jan Michalski Foundation are granted to individuals as well as pairs of writers working on a common project. The latter might include a writer and a translator\, a writer and someone from another discipline\, two writers\, and so on. \n\n\n\nLocation\n\nThe Jan Michalski Foundation lies at the foot of the Swiss Jura Mountains in Montricher. The village is approximately 30 minutes from Lausanne and one hour from Geneva. It is possible to reach Montricher from Morges by train. \nSix “cabins” overlook Lake Geneva and the Alps while a seventh is oriented towards the forested slopes of the Jura. One final cabin serves as a kitchen and common living area where resident writers can cook together\, socialize and relax. \n\n\n\nLength of stay\n\nResidencies can vary in length\, lasting from two weeks to one\, two\, or three months. The length of stay should match the scope of the project. The period applied for is a request only\, and the Jan Michalski Foundation reserves the right to offer another period depending on availability. \n\n\n\nEligibility criteria\n\nThere are no age or nationality restrictions.\nBeginners are accepted.\nCandidates are only allowed to submit one application per year.\nFormer residents are not allowed to reapply.

SUMMARY:Event: I’ve Never Read Elizabeth Gaskell Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Gaskell’s House marked the 10th anniversary of its restoration and opening to the public with a bold new exhibition called I’ve Never Read Elizabeth Gaskell\, as part of a project supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.\nThree young writers – Georgia Affonso\, Princess Arinola Adegbite and Guruleen Kahlo – were awarded inaugural writers’ residencies at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House\, Manchester’s only literary house\, and it is their endeavours that take centre stage. \nThey began their journey having never read Elizabeth’s work\, but by spending time at the house they have been immersed in her writing and role as a social reformist. Through their eyes visitors will also be able to discover just how much there is to the inspiring world of Elizabeth Gaskell. \nCreated in partnership with The Writing Squad and Manchester City of Literature.

SUMMARY:Conference: 8th Annual ENSFR Conference at the University of Artois
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe are excited to announce a Save The Date for the 8th Annual ENSFR Conference. The conference will be held at the University of Artois (Northern France) on the 10-12th of June 2026. The title of the conference is: “In Different Shapes: the short story and its modes of circulation in magazines and newspapers.” \nFollowing the ideas initiated at the Leuven conference in 2017 on the short story\, its contexts and co-texts\, the 2026 ENSFR conference will be devoted to short forms appearing in magazines and newspapers. \nThe conference will consider any story printed in such media but also stories that were solely published in magazines and newspapers (as opposed to stories that were later collected in book form)\, adapted into film or into longer works of fiction (as is often the case with The New Yorker). Panelists may also work on any short form to be found in magazines (commercials\, letters to the editor\, notes…) as well as illustrated stories—the illustrations providing yet another short story from to explore. \nCertain magazines target a specific audience\, and it could be stimulating to reflect upon writers’ ability to please (at least on the surface) literary editors. In the nineteenth century\, stories were often referred to as “articles\,” “tales” or “sketches”—how does this influence our understanding of the text? What are the differences between stories printed in magazines and those printed in newspapers? \nThe conference will give us an opportunity to discuss magazine publication with several authors and see how magazine and newspaper publication has evolved since its earliest forms.

SUMMARY:Event: Ben Pester and Keith Ridgway at Bàrd Books
DESCRIPTION:Join author Ben Pester and Keith Ridgway with Barry Pierce to discuss their new books \n\n\n\n\nDoors 630pm\, event start 7pm prompt \nBEN PESTER is the author of the short story collection Am I in the Right Place? (2021) and the novel The Expansion Project (2025)\, which was shortlisted for the Nero Book Awards and the Goldsmiths Prize. \n“Pester is a genius of capturing the vicissitudes of contemporary life” LUKE KENNARD \nSail Away Land is the space where we might go when we’re no longer alive (sometimes only temporarily). In this uncommon and disarming collection\, the characters go ‘there’ with or without knowing it. Maybe they have been living there all along without noticing – just like they hadn’t really noticed that everyone is carrying a shiny black suitcase. \nThese stories are about normal things – losing the people we’re closest to\, forgiving them\, finding love and managing to hold onto it – but also about going to parties through a door in the back of a colleague’s head\, housebreaking in search of a sister’s ghost\, and asking the strangers in the kitchen to resurrect you at midnight. \nLike brilliant and strange anxiety dreams in prose\, the stories in Sail Away Land are full of temporal weirdness\, life and non-being\, psychological acuity\, imagination and wit\, all while being effortlessly\, seductively readable and incredibly moving. \n“Moving deftly between corporate weirdness\, the anxiety of rejection\, and the warm haze of childhood memory\, Sail Away Land is just how I like my short story collections: playful and particular. I feel lucky to have read it.” SABA SAMS \nKeith Ridgway is a Dubliner living in London. His novels include A Shock\, which won the 2021 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction and was shortlisted for the Goldsmith’s Prize; Hawthorn & Child; and Animals. His first novel The Long Falling was filmed by Martin Provost as Où Va La Nuit in 2011. He has been awarded the Prix Fémina Étranger and Premier Roman Étranger\, the O Henry award and the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. Dooneen is published by Fitzcarraldo Editions and by New Directions. \nThe astonishing Irish literary magician Keith Ridgway pulls from his hat the Great Dublin Novel for the 21st century \nBartholomew Port\, known to all as Mew\, steps into the bushes in a London park and steps out of the bushes in a Dublin one. Not only that—there are no cars; there are moving footpaths; there is no church; everything seems quite queer. Home by invitation\, he has arrived in a Dublin that is alive with song\, with rumor\, with tunnels\, with ghosts\, and with an unmistakable sense of insurgency. In this suspiciously timeless city that breathes an old revolutionary air\, Mew fiercely misses his beloved Mootie\, back home in London. \nAn unraveling\, an impossibility\, a gathering of voices\, and a single dream\, Dooneen is the layered\, allusive and wildly original new novel from Keith Ridgway\, “one of Ireland’s best writers\, in a country with no shortage of them” (The Times).
