Get matched →The Finch Manuscript Lab is a residency designed as the 'final sprint' in the marathon of writing a book. It takes place at the Finch Country House in Serramezzana, Italy, along the Cilento coast south of Naples and Salerno, and blends self-directed freedom and solo writing time with communal dinners, craft discussions, and one-on-one mentorship.
Applicants must be over 18 years old and residents of a Creative Europe country other than Italy.
Mentors have been chosen for their exceptional experience across literary creation, editing, translation, and the international publishing industry, including former editors at Penguin Random House and FSG, and award-winning authors.
