A Fishtrap Writer in Residence lasts from 5 -7 weeks and includes a stipend, travel allowance, and lodging. While you are here, Fishtrap will work with you to schedule up to 40 hours of classroom time in Wallowa County schools.

The rest of the time is yours to use to write, explore the county, and connect with the many local writers in the Fishtrap community.
