The writer is expected to contribute to the community life of Stonington
by sharing some of his/her scholarship or professional experience
with local residents. The apartment is available for a full or half
academic year. Rent and utilities are provided by the program. Beginning
in September 2008, the Writer-in-Residence program will include
a $5,000 stipend for a five month term or a $10,000 stipend for
an eleven month term.
The James Merrill Writer-in-Residence Program preserves the Merrill apartment
in Stonington CT as a tribute to him and as a cultural asset to the local community.
In recognition of James Merrill’s longstanding generosity to fellow writers,
the program provides a living and working space to a writer in search of a
quiet setting to complete a project of literary or academic merit.
