Artist Residencies in Bertram

Oatmeal Creek is a writers' residency program located on 240 private acres in the Texas Hill Country near Bertram, Texas, offering three individual residencies each year in March and April for emerging and established writers of all genres including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, playwriting, and screenplays. Residencies last approximately 16-19 days in a fully equipped private 3-bedroom house with ample workspace, and include a $750 unrestricted stipend, though residents cover their own meals and transportation. The program emphasizes solitude, exploration on groomed trails, and opportunities for local community engagement like readings or workshops.
