“I’m so grateful to Hub City for affording me those things most precious for an artist– time, a community of fellow artists, and a Woolfian room of my own. The Hub City Residency will give me the space necessary to finish my manuscript. Having ten years of experience in creative writing outreach programs across the Midwest, I’m also excited to continue this work and share my love of stories and language with a new community.” — Kelsey Ronan
