CRWROPPS: Emerging Writer Fellowships

Miami Book Fair's Emerging Writer Fellowships (EWF) program offers a life-changing experience to fresh and exciting literary voices. Through the generous sponsorship of the Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation at the Miami Foundation, on March 1 we launched a search for the program's next cohort: four writers who will enjoy critical mentorship from a nationally established author in their respective genre – fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and new this round, Spanish-language – as well as a host of other strategic supports.

 

These fellowships support previously unpublished writers who demonstrate exceptional talent and promise by providing them with time, space, and an intellectually and culturally rich artistic community. The program's goal is to actively support these writers – who are working to complete their first book-length project within a year – and help them launch their literary careers. Emerging Writer Fellows are granted professional experience in arts administration, teaching creative writing, and other opportunities; a $41,000 stipend; and strong literary community support to allow for 12 glorious months of uninterrupted time to craft their works.
