“A new Detroit nonprofit called Write A House has figured out something to do with Detroit’s thousands and thousands of vacant and blighted homes — fix them up and give them to writers. Write A House will accept applications from working, ‘low-income’ writers in the spring, who will be asked to send writing samples and a letter of intent. The judges include former National Poet Laureate Billy Collins, poet Major Jackson, writer and filmmaker Dream Hampton and editor of the Farrar, Straus & Giroux publishing house Sean McDonald. Writers from all over the world, or living just a few miles away, are all encouraged to apply.”
