Philip Roth Residence in Creative Writing
Named for Bucknell's renowned literary alumnus and initiated in the fall of 1993, the Philip Roth Residence in Creative Writing offers up to four months of unfettered writing time for a writer working on a first or second book of fiction or creative nonfiction. The residency provides lodging in Bucknell's "Poets' Cottage" and a stipend of $5,000.
In the spring semester of 2024, the Stadler Center will accept applications for the 2024–25 Roth Residences (Aug.–Dec. 2024 and Jan.–May 2025). The application deadline for both residencies is Feb. 1, 2023. Please note: The Roth Residency is now open to writers in ANY literary genre: fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, graphic fiction, etc.
