Beach Glass Writers Residency

Are you longing for the time and space to write that book you've been dreaming about?

What if you could have a lovely creative getaway PLUS the support and direction of a professional editor and author?

Beach Glass Writers Residency offers an artistic, distraction-free space where writers can unwind, be inspired, and make real writing progress. This self-directed residency provides an immersive creative environment with 1:1 support from a seasoned writing coach and developmental editor.

We are located in Chicago’s vibrant, artistic Rogers Park neighborhood, which, according to a 2022 list from Money.com, is the fifth best place to live in all of America! Our beautifully renovated four-bedroom duplex is just a stone’s throw from Lake Michigan, where you’ll find inspiration in the retro architecture of the old Sherwin Hotel and the calming rhythm of the waves.

Close to both Loyola and Northwestern universities, you’ll be surrounded by academic vigor and creative energy, with easy access to Chicago’s world-class attractions.

Whether you prefer the privacy of your room, the beach’s natural splendor, or the ambiance of a local café, your writing sanctuary awaits. Tailor the experience to your needs, with as much or as little interaction as you choose.
