The Malba Writers Residence Programme is intended for foreign writers, offering them the opportunity to stay five weeks in Buenos Aires as part of their professional and artistic development.
Each year two editions will be made during the months of April-May and October- November and a third edition in August – September through the RE- AC/E programme, for Spanish writers. REM stands as a forum for dialogue and literary creation, not only through the work and presence of prestigious writers and specialists residing in the country, but also through annual activities and events.
There is a grant for foreign writers, as well as a full grant for writers from Chile, Italy and Spain.

Academic papers and self-published works will not be considered. If not Spanish speaker, it is desirable (but not an exclusive condition) that the author has works translated into Spanish.

- Airline tickets from and to their home city
- Accommodation
- One stipend of 500 USD intended to contribute to various expenses for the duration of the programme (5 weeks).
