Nanjing is offering 6 residencies in 2023 to writers, poets and translators from all UNESCO Cities of Literature.
Nanjing International Writers Residency means to bridge the city’s literary community with its international counterparts. This yearly program was initiated in 2019. It has hosted 24 writers, poets and translators from the subnetwork. The program turned virtual for three years from 2020 to 2022, now a real face-to-face one in 2023.
Nanjing boasts a literary tradition of over 1800 years. The city served as China’s capital for about 400 years across six dynasties. Its heritages left from those dynasties and its diversified culture today have all contributed to its role as a “most alluring destination” for inbound travelers to China. It has made much difference in modern Chinese literature, a possible unexplored treasure house for international writers.
Deadline: 20 September 2023
