Ledig House is proud to partner with the Dutch Foundation for Literature in a residency exchange program. For more information about the Dutch Foundation for Literature, please visit: http://www.fondsvoordeletteren.nl

Ledig House is also proud to form a exchange partnership with Het Beschrijf in Belgium. In this exchange, Het Beschrijf will work to bring a Belgian writer to Ledig House and Ledig House will work to bring an American writer to Het Beschrijf's residency program, Passa Porta.

The literary organisation, Het beschrijf, in Brussels, has been a builder of bridges since its inception in 1998– between different languages and literatures, literature and society, and literature and the other arts.

In 2004 Het beschrijf launched two new initiatives: the Passa Porta International House of Literature in the heart of Brussels, and a prestigious residency program for writers. Guest writers are able to choose to stay in the centre of the city or in the rural countryside of Brussels. The length of the stay varies between four and eight weeks. Since 2004, Het beschrijf has welcomed some eighty writers from all over the world.
