Shanghai Writing Program

2012年11月22日 17:21

Hosted by Shanghai Writers" Association, The Shanghai Writing Program invites several internationally acclaimed writers to spend two months in Shanghai, China. The Residency Program, is an annual event which first began in 2008, to date we have hosted writers from Britain, Canada, Australia, Japan, Ireland, Norway and Greece.

“Our aim is not so much to require writers to write about Shanghai, but to contribute to your creativity with the diversity of experiences that living in Shanghai brings.”

Mrs. Wang Anyi [President， Shanghai Writers’ Association]

The Shanghai Writing Program will be held from September 1st to October 31st, and will feature cultural events, literary talks and lectures. The Shanghai Writers’ Association will provide travel costs and accommodation; all successful candidates will also receive a stipend of RMB100 per day.

A panel of acclaimed Shanghai writers will curate our selection process. All applicants are invited to submit their literary biography and a photo by email to,
huph111@163.com.
Applicants should also send samples of their work by post. We suggest one or two books [English language version if available]; preference will be given to novelists.

Please send the books to：
