Writing in the Literary Heart in Amsterdam
The 'Residency for Writers' project is a joint initiative by the Dutch Foundation for Literature and the Foundation for the Production and Translation of Dutch Literature. The University of Amsterdam and Athenaeum Booksellers have made living space available in the heart of the old city.In this way, the foreign writer in residence will find lodgings not only in the historic and literary heart of Amsterdam, but also at its academic centre, with access to the University of Amsterdam library, the Academic Club and the Dutch capital's literary activities.
The writers' residence is located in the heart of Amsterdam. The square on which the apartment looks out is called "het Spui". The "Spui" is the name of the body of water that formed the city's southern border until the late 14th century.
