The International Writers in Residence Programme, administered by Granada UNESCO City of Literature within the Arts Department of the Granada City Council and in collaboration with the University of Granada, enters a new edition for 2026. The initiative is rooted in the city's designation as a UNESCO Creative City, a network that positions Granada within a global framework of literary exchange. The programme's stated aim is to strengthen international cooperation in the cultural sector, with a particular emphasis on literary creation. Two writers will be selected for a 30-night stay at the Corrala de Santiago, a University of Granada residence, from 2 November to 1 December 2026 inclusive. Selected writers receive round-trip travel expenses from the airport nearest their place of residence to Granada Airport, along with accommodation for the duration of the residency. The programme is open to writers residing in any country and writing in any language, reflecting a genuinely international and multilingual curatorial scope. The collaboration with the University of Granada—through its Vice-Rectorates for University Extension, Heritage and Institutional Relations; Internationalisation; and Social Responsibility, Equality and Inclusion—suggests an institutional commitment to situating writers within the academic and civic life of the city, though the specific terms of engagement are not detailed in the available information. The residency offers time and space in a historic Andalusian setting, with the Corrala de Santiago serving as both lodging and a symbolic anchor within Granada's literary heritage. The programme does not specify a thematic focus or expected output, leaving the nature of the writers' work during the residency open. This absence of prescribed deliverables may appeal to writers whose practice benefits from unstructured time and immersion in a new linguistic and cultural environment. The selection process is competitive, and the absence of a fee indicates an institutional commitment to accessibility, though applicants should note that the deadline is rolling and that only two positions are available.
