Residency Rejection and Acceptance

I was not selected for a residency at Wildacres, but I was accepted as one of four international writers to attend the Danish Centre for Writers and Translators at HALD Hovedgaard in Denmark for the month of June and I. am. over. the. moon. Especially after I found out one of the other residents will be Amanda Michalopoulou. I love her work so much. Such an honor. I've heard from a friend that this is a really magical place to get work done and I can't imagine it being anything but. So thrilled.
