About the residency
The San Miguel Writers' Conference, based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, is an annual gathering that has become a vital crossroads for writers from North America, Latin America, and beyond. Founded on the belief that literature thrives in spaces of cultural exchange, the conference combines workshops, panels, and readings with a competitive writing contest. Its ethos is rooted in community and craft, offering a rare bilingual and bicultural literary environment that encourages both emerging and established voices to engage deeply with their work and with one another.

Planning your application
Submissions are managed through Submittable, with separate categories for faculty proposals and the writing contest. Contest entrants should adhere strictly to genre and word-count guidelines, as the conference values clarity and concision. Faculty proposals are evaluated on teaching experience and the ability to contribute to the conference's cross-cultural dialogue. Given the volume of submissions, simultaneous submissions are discouraged, and applicants are advised to review past conference themes to align their proposals with the current year's focus.
