My favorite flash are the ones that are emotionally evocative and boldly, interestingly executed. I love a bit of innovation and experimentation if they serve and enhance the storytelling. Is this a story or essay that feels urgent? Does it need telling right now? Does it assert its urgency from the first sentence? Almost always, I will choose a piece that moves me deeply over a clever one that impresses, but lacks a beating heart at its center. Let your work reflect your true and authentic voice. Make me lean in and hang on your every word. There!

The Fellow will be a two-year employee of the CSU English department and must live in Northeast Ohio during their two 9-month academic-year appointments. The current application cycle is only open to writers who have been residents of Ohio for at least two consecutive years, for any period before the fellowship's start in August 2024. The salary is $50,000 per year with health insurance and benefits.<br> <br> The Anisfield-Wolf Fellowship in Writing & Publishing is divided between writing, teaching one creative writing or literature course per semester (for a total of four classes over two years), and engaging in publishing and community outreach work with the CSU English Department and Poetry Center. Publishing work may include reading manuscripts during acquisitions periods and attending editorial meetings. Outreach work may include teaching a one-time community workshop, hosting a reading or colloquium at the Poetry Center, and/or contributing to local literary partnerships and events.<br> <br> The CSU Poetry Center is a 60-year-old independent nonprofit press that publishes 2-5 books of contemporary poetry, prose, and translation each year. The Poetry Center also hosts the Lighthouse Reading Series and the NEOMFA Writers at Work Colloquium and serves as a teaching lab for students at Cleveland State University and within the NEOMFA Program.<br> <br> This fellowship is named for and supported by the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, which honor literature that confronts racism and explores the rich diversity of human cultures. These are administered through the Cleveland Foundation. Through the creation of this fellowship, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards and the CSU Poetry Center hope to support writers from backgrounds and with perspectives historically underrepresented in publishing and the teaching of creative writing. By providing teaching experience and professional development opportunities, the fellowship also aims to help address the longstanding lack of diversity in the US publishing, editing, and academic workforces.<br> <br> </span><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Avenir-Heavy, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bolder; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">ABOUT ANISFIELD-WOLF</span><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br> <br> Cleveland poet and philanthropist Edith Anisfield Wolf established the book awards in 1935 in honor of her father, John Anisfield, and husband, Eugene Wolf, to reflect her family's passion for social justice and the rich diversity of human cultures. Founded with a focus on combating racism in America, the Anisfield-Wolf Awards today maintain that commitment to equity and justice in an expanded, global context. Recent winners, for example, have also addressed religious identity, immigrant experiences, LGBTQ+ history, and the lives of people with disabilities.
