Join us in celebrating the 2020 Highlandtown Writers-in-Residence program! This opportunity was designed for women writers to enjoy a two-month daytime writing residency in Highlandtown. While this framework has changed over the course of 2020, our residents have been hard at work, hosting a retreat in July, and putting the finishing touches on their forthcoming publication.
