These are great tips, thank you for sharing! On another note, your website design is great. Did you happen to design it yourself?

Thank you for writing this! For someone who doesn’t have any writing published yet, do you think being able to show a body of work and/ or substack is still fine?

This was wonderful advice, thank you! I am looking at one residency in my state that I have been hoping and dreaming about. I have this saved so I can keep coming back. I'm so happy for you and your accomplishments! I wish you many more.

The information in the blog is quite helpful. Thanks Prince!

Also, while going through Sangam House's website I read that " their residency programs are designed for writers who have published to some acclaim but not yet enjoyed substantial commercial success". Is that the case and if yes, do you recommend someone like me, with no prior experience applying there?
