Writer-in-Residence

Study Hotels is creating yet another bridge between university culture and the greater community through their inaugural Writer-in-Residence Program. This brand-wide initiative gives local emerging writers a unique opportunity to hone their craft in Study Hotels’ inspiring environment—a place where even the smallest details are designed around the pursuit of higher learning.

The Study at Yale is partnering with Yale Writers’ Workshop, a program of the
Yale Summer Session, to select authors for the program.
