We require that you participate in three events while you are a resident; a Welcome Potluck dinner for you; a Final Reading of your work at the Kerouac House at the end of your residency; and a public reading at Valencia College. However, Orlando has a vibrant literary community and we encourage you to participate in some outside events. As the Kerouac Project writer-in-residence you have the opportunity to read at public readings, conduct a writing workshop, be interviewed on the radio and/or a local literary podcast, should you want to. If you have books/chapbooks or other media for sale or to promote, you can do so at most of these events should you choose to participate in them. From time to time during your stay you may be asked to participate when the Kerouac House is used for events such as readings and workshops for local students or book groups.
