Introducing The Hideout Residency Program

Are you a writer, artist, yoga instructor, or self-care practitioner looking for some quiet time to work on your craft, dive deep into a project, or nourish your own practise? Hoping to get away for some dedicated quiet time free of distraction?

The Hideout Residencies on PEI is for folks just like you. Here’s how it works: Both the Hideout Cottage and The Tryon Suite are available for select dates each spring and fall for low-cost, self-directed residencies. Writers and other residents should plan to work on a project or engage in practise for a minimum of one week (6 nights). Residents will arrive on a Saturday afternoon and depart the following Friday morning. Both units feature queen-sized beds, self-catering kitchens, wifi access, yoga mats and props, space to write and practise, outdoor space, and access to trails and bicycles.

Because of the rural nature of The Hideout, residents should plan to have their own vehicle for the duration of their stay. In exceptional circumstances, transportation may be arranged for an additional fee.

To apply, get in touch to tell us about yourself, your project, and your preferred time slot. We’ll follow up with more information and you’ll have ten days to secure your spot with a non-refundable $150 deposit. The remainder of your fees will be due 30 days before your arrival.

We also offer one full scholarship to an emerging or established writer or practitioner with financial need. Get in touch to discuss accessibility questions and concerns. The scholarship deadline for 2020 is March 31. Please send us a short (up to five-page) writing sample (preferably related to your project), a short (250 word) synopsis of your project, and why being selected as a Hideout resident is important to you to:

info@thehideoutpei.com. Please include Hideout Residency in the subject line of your email. ...

Cape Breton Orphan, a memoir by Caper author & game designer Randy Thompson appeared as the number 1 Local Bestseller in Cape Breton!

In this gripping memoir, Randall James tears open his life story, taking the reader on a breathless roller coaster ride through his childhood, teen and adult life. Despite years of neglect, poverty, and violence, Randall graduates from high school and heads out into the world but his shaky foundation soon leads to drastic consequences, including a suicide attempt.

At times hilarious, at times harrowing, this candid account of one man's struggle, growth, and transformation points to the meaning beneath the hardships of life.
