Former City of Asylum writers-in-residence Huang Xiang (China) and Horacio Castellanos Moya (El Salvador)
The centerpiece of our programs is a long-term residency for literary writers who are in exile from their home countries and under threat of persecution because of their writing. The goal of a City of Asylum® Exiled Writer Residency is to enable a writer to continue to write while transitioning to a stable, independent life in exile. This program provides a stipend and health care for two years and housing for up to four years.
