Foreign authors
Every year Passa Porta receives up to 9 foreign writers in residence in Brussels. We create the ideal work environment for their literary project, in the research and writing phase.
On this page you can find the list of all our writers in residence since the opening of Passa Porta in 2004.
What does a residence consist in?
As a writer in residence you stay for a minimum of four weeks in a spacious apartment and you receive a stipend. In addition, Passa Porta can involve you in Belgian cultural life and the network of the house of literature.
We sometimes ask you to be open to meeting Belgian audiences or making other literary contributions. Such assignments are properly compensated.
These residencies take place by invitation or in collaboration with our international partners. You can apply in July and August for a residency in the following year, by sending a CV, a bibliography, and a one-page description of your writing project to residences@passaporta.be.
