Writing Fellowships: Fine Arts Work Center

Fellowships: Fine Arts Work Center

Deadline: December 1, 2017 

Our Fellows have gone on to win every major national writing award, including the National Book Award, eight Pulitzer Prizes, and dozens of Guggenheim Fellowships.

Since 1968, FAWC writing Fellowships have provided poets and fiction writers with the time, space, and support needed to work on their first books. In the past five years alone, recent Fellows have gone on to receive Stegner Fellowships, the Rome Prize, Whiting Foundation awards, the Rona Jaffe Award, and numerous publication contracts.

Next year, ten emerging writers* (five poets and five fiction writers) will join them.

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.

For more information, see fawc.org, or contact Sophia Starmack, Fellowship Writing Coordinator, at:

*FAWC defines "emerging writers" as those who have not yet published a full-length creative work in any genre. See website for complete guidelines.
