Be a Writer-in-residence

InsideOut is always on the lookout for accomplished poets and writers who want to share their passion for language with Detroit's young people.

InsideOut’s team of writers-in-residence features some of the Detroit area’s premier poets, fiction writers, and scriptwriters. Writers-in-residence conduct 25-week long residencies in elementary, middle and high schools visiting their schools usually once per week. In addition to inspiring young people to imagine, dream, write, draw, and read, our writers-in-residence also coordinate with students the editing process of their school literary magazines.

If you are interested in being considered for a writer-in-residence position, please send a cover letter, resume, and a 3-5 page writing sample to InsideOut’s Associate Director, Alise Alousi.
