For Writers looking for some Adventure
12/1/2010 5:04:40 PM


Here are some neat opportunities for writers - Natl' Park residencies, a trip to the North Pole, etc!
For those writers out there who'd like to try something a little different, here are a couple possibilities:

Are you a fan of National Parks? Why not apply for a writing residency at one of them? (They also look for photographers, sculptors, composers, etc, depending on the park.) This sounds like neat opportunity to stay for free in a National Park, and work on your craft (while also giving a few workshops to the tourists, I'm guessing.) Looks like the residencies vary in length, also depending on the park. Check 'em out here:

Then there's this cool contest - a chance to be the official blogger for an expedition to the North pole. It's one of those things where you submit an entry and try to encourage people to vote on yours, and then the one with the most votes get to go with Quark Expeditions on a 2-week expedition to the North Pole. Prize includes ship accommodations for 2, as well as airfare and a couple hotel nights in Finland bookending the trip:
