The names of the selection committee members will also be made public. |
| Expected Outcome | Residency Activities: The selected writers in residence must move into their assigned accommodations in accordance with their proposed residency schedule. They are expected to hold at least one reader engagement activity, such as a reader exchange or sharing session, on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday) each week during the residency. The activities details will be jointly determined by the NMTL and the selected writers.

Failure to meet this deadline will result in a three-year disqualification from applying for the Writers-in-Residence Program. |
