About the magazine
The Writer's Hotel is a New York–based literary organization founded on the belief that serious writing benefits from focused, hotel-like immersion—a temporary home where writers can retreat from daily demands and engage deeply with their craft. Its programs, such as the Workroom, pair writers with professional editors for comprehensive manuscript review, emphasizing sustained attention over quick fixes. The ethos is one of practical rigor and collegial support, treating writing as both a solitary discipline and a communal practice.
Submitting your work
Reading periodOpen now
Applicants should approach The Writer's Hotel with a complete or near-complete manuscript, as programs like Workroom 2 require two full readings by editors. Be prepared to articulate your goals and openness to revision. The organization values writers who are ready to engage critically with their work and who respect the collaborative, intensive nature of the residency. Deadlines and specific submission requirements are detailed on their website; follow them precisely.
