Writing the Unspoken: A New Residency in an Ancient Setting
OLD QUEBEC CITY, AUGUST 27TH – SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2026
Since 2004, Abroad Writers’ Conference has hosted hundreds of writers at legendary sites—from private Villas on Lake Como and the literary streets of Dublin to the historic halls of Hever and Lismore Castles. Today, we are deliberately pivoting to something rare. This residency is our first Intensive Masterclass Circle: a strictly limited, 18-person deep-dive designed to offer the kind of profound, one-on-one mentorship that only happens in a truly intimate setting.
In the heart of Old Quebec join masters of the craft — Amy Bloom, Connie May Fowler, Josip Novakovich, Mikhail Iossel, founding director of The Summer Literary Seminars, plus special guest authors — to dismantle the silences that haunt our work.
