The Prague Summer Program for Writers is a three-week, family-run writing residency in Prague, Czech Republic, with a legacy dating back to the Velvet Revolution. It offers writers the time and space to create while immersing themselves in one of Europe’s most beautiful and historically rich cities. Participants take part in weekly workshops, private conferences, literary readings, special lectures, and guided walking tours exploring Prague’s deep literary and cultural history.

The program embraces the spirit of the Prague Spring—a brief but transformative cultural awakening in 1968 that championed artistic freedom and intellectual exchange. Creative writing, as an academic field, shares this ethos of radical egalitarianism, and the Prague Summer Program continues to foster that tradition.

Beyond its historical and cultural significance, the program offers invaluable career benefits. Participants work with renowned mentors, join a community of accomplished alumni, and see their work published in leading literary journals, magazines, and anthologies.
