Each year, the Fine Arts Work Center awards ten Fellowships to emerging* writers in fiction and poetry. Each Fellow stays for seven months, and is provided with living space and a modest stipend. Fellows do not pay or work in exchange for their Fellowships in any way. The term of the upcoming Fellowship is October 1, 2018 to May 1, 2019.
About the Fine Arts Work Center:
Located at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, the Work Center offers a unique residency for emerging writers and visual artists. Former writing Fellows--nearly all of whom came here before the publication of their first books--have won every major national award in writing, including eight Pulitzer Prizes, the National Book Award, and dozens of Guggenheim Fellowships. Former writing Fellows include Michael Cunningham, Louise Glück, Denis Johnson, Jhumpa Lahiri, Marie Howe, and Yusef Komunyakaa.
To Apply:
Submit 15 pages of poetry or 35 pages of fiction, along with a CV, optional personal statement, and $50 application fee. Application available here.
