Fondation Jan Michalski

Application guidance

Applications for the residency are typically accepted through an annual open call, with deadlines announced on the foundation’s website. Writers and translators at any stage of their career may apply, though a publication record or demonstrable project is expected. The selection process is competitive and favors projects that show literary merit and a clear need for a residency. Applicants should submit a well-defined project proposal, a sample of recent work, and a realistic work plan for the residency period. It is advisable to demonstrate how the residency would contribute to the completion of a specific project and to articulate a connection to the foundation’s mission of promoting literature and translation. Non-French speakers are welcome, but proficiency in English or French is necessary for daily life in Montricher.
