The survey, conducted by Literature Across Frontiers in cooperation with Mercator International in the framework of the Ulysses Shelter project of exchange residencies, aims to research and assess mobility provision for emerging European writers and the benefits of international residential stays for their creative and professional development. The Ulysses Shelter project is co-financed by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
The definition of emerging writer follows the definition used by the project: writers in any genre who are in the early stages of their creative career and have between one and three publications. Please respond to the survey if you fall into this category. Answers to all questions are required and their analysis will be anonymised.
If you wish to respond to an additional interview, please indicate this at the end of the survey by inserting your email address. By responding to the survey you agree with the processing of your answers and data for the purpose of producing a report on the stated subject and in full compliance with current data protection legislation.
The survey is only available in English and takes a maximum of 10 minutes to complete.
