Stillwater Story House

Manuscript submissions

Stillwater Story House accepts submissions for residencies and the press through periodic open calls announced on its website and newsletter. Applicants should demonstrate a genuine need for time and space rather than a desire for prestige; the review committee prioritizes clarity of project intent and evidence of an ongoing practice. Work samples should be recent and relevant to the proposed project. The organization does not charge application fees, but it also does not offer stipends—residents are responsible for travel and a modest materials fee. Response times are typically 3–4 months. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere.
