Literary Residency opportunities in China and India

The M Literary Residency Programme has been established to disseminate a broader
knowledge of contemporary life and writing in India and China today and to foster deeper intellectual, cultural and artistic links across individuals and communities.

The intent of the residency is to provide space and time primarily for writing and locationspecific research. It is not to be used as base for travel in order to undertake research
further afield.

Bangalore, India
A three-month residency at Sangam House, in a rural setting near Bangalore, South
India from late 2013 to early 2014.

1st, 2014
