A
Low-Residency Program
Residencies
A typical ten-day residency provides a variety of activities, especially
frequent meetings with the student's faculty mentor to review work and to
plan for the upcoming modules. In addition, there are readings by visiting
writers, readings by faculty or students, lectures, panels, workshops, and
opportunities to evaluate submissions to The Literary Review. There
also are several hours of unscheduled time for writing, revision, and informal
interaction. The Wroxton residency may arrange special events, such as a
dinner in Stratford and a play at the Royal Shakespeare Company or a trip to
London.

small group meetings of students and mentors
