Rockvale Writers' Colony extends a focused invitation to writers who have previously been accepted to the colony, offering residency weeks in 2026. This call is not an open competition but a continuation of an existing relationship, allowing returning writers to deepen their practice within a supportive environment. The colony's decision to limit eligibility to previously accepted writers underscores its commitment to fostering sustained creative development rather than perpetual newness. The residency provides time and space for writers across all disciplines, with accommodations in the Farmhouse, Granary, or Cabin. Accepted writers are responsible for food and travel, and residency fees apply: $550 per week for Farmhouse Rooms, $600 per week for Granary and Cabin, with a mini-residency option of 1-3 nights at $125 per night for Farmhouse Rooms and $150 per night for Granary and Cabin. A $50 cleaning fee, 9.75% sales tax, and 4% occupancy tax are additional. Room requests for the Farmhouse are not accepted, but writers may request the Cabin or Granary, subject to availability and the director's discretion. Extensions outside the stated dates may be possible at the director's discretion. This residency is designed for writers who have already demonstrated a fit with Rockvale's ethos and who seek uninterrupted time to advance their work. The colony's curatorial vision is one of quiet dedication, where returning writers can build upon previous progress without the pressures of application cycles.
