Recently, I returned from a six-week stay at Unpack Studio in Havana, Cuba. I completed an exceptional amount of work on my novel and, through the kindness and professionalism of the studio’s staff, discovered so much about Cuba and its people.

The residency program runs three to seven weeks. Residents stay in a restored building that now is nearly 100 years old. Check out the blog entry here, and cruise through Unpack’s studio for information on how you can write, paint, or research in Havana.
