The Finch Manuscript Lab is a 2.5-month residency to support writers and artists completing book-length manuscripts. It takes place at the Finch Country House in Serramezzana, Italy, along the Cilento coast south of Naples and Salerno. The residency is designed as the ‘final sprint’ in the marathon of writing a book. It offers free living and work space, a stipend and travel allowance, writing time in a tranquil setting, creative community, and professional development (including manuscript consultations, craft discussions, and publishing seminars).
