residency for writers, translators and cartoonists

The Bucheon City of Literature office is delighted to announce the launch of the 2025 Bucheon Residency Program, open to writers, poets, translators, graphic novelists who have at least one published work and are currently engaged in creative writing.

This program aims to foster international exchange, enhance mobility for literary and graphic artists, and provide a unique environment to develop new work while connecting with Korean readers and the local community. During the residency, Residents are expected to devote 80% of their time to working on their personal creative project and 20% of their time to participating in programs, events or exchanges, designed in consultation with the Bucheon City of Literature Office.

We warmly invite writers, translators and comic/graphic novel creators affiliated with a UNESCO Creative City of Literature(outside of South korea) to apply for this exciting opportunity. We hope that the chosen guests enjoy this dynamic and unique environment of Bucheon.
