2026 Yellow Arrow Writers-in-Residence Program

Every writer has a story to tell and every story is worth telling. Since 2019, Yellow Arrow Publishing has been proud to offer a residency program that enables us to support, uplift, and amplify the voices of women-identifying writers residing in the Baltimore area. We continue to evolve the program and are delighted to share our 2026 Writers-in-Residence with our community. 

First, a note of thanks: As our programs and community continue to grow, we consider our team tremendously fortunate to receive such a diverse and talented group of applicants. We are reminded again of the passion and storytelling that surrounds and charms us. Our deepest gratitude to all those who applied or took this opportunity to learn more about Yellow Arrow. 

For 2026, we are thrilled that The Ivy Bookshop and Bird in Hand Coffee & Books are partnering with us to provide an inspiring location from which our writers can work at their craft! Their support is so appreciated and we thank them for their dedication to our mission.

Applications for our 2026 Writers-in-Residence program are now open from July 1 - July 24. Apply here.
