Applications Now Open for 2024 Hideout Residencies

Scholarship deadline for Maritime writers is March 1

Now in its fifth year, the Hideout Residencies welcome writers, artists, and self-care practitioners to a quiet rural setting on PEI’s south shore each spring and fall. Residencies are a week in length and allow for uninterrupted time to work on a creative project. The 2023 Hideout residency scholar was PEI writer Lauren Jean Lawlor.

In order to support Maritime writers and practitioners, one full scholarship covering residency costs is available to an emerging or established writer or practitioner with financial need. Writers or wellness practitioners who identify as BIPOC or 2SLGBTQ+ are especially encouraged to apply. The scholarship deadline for 2024 is March 1. For more information about the Hideout Residencies, the application process, or the scholarship, visit our residency page.

Two years ago I began working on a young adult fiction novel Dear Lisa. Winning the residency at The Hideout provided me with the ideal opportunity to reacquaint myself with the story and characters. Trevor and Joshua ensured that I had everything I needed to allow me to immerse myself in the creative process. I would highly recommend The Hideout to anyone in need of a retreat and some time to relax and unwind.”
