Apply for the Emerging Writer Fellowship

We are accepting applications for the 2022-2023 Emerging Writer Fellowship!

The Emerging Writer Fellowship aims to develop new, exciting voices by providing three writers per year tuition-free access to GrubStreet’s classes and Muse & the Marketplace conferences. Over the course of one year, each Emerging Writer Fellow will attend a combination of seminars and multi-week courses of their choosing, bookended by attendance at both the 2022 and the 2023 Muse & the Marketplace conference, in order to enhance their understanding of craft and the publishing industry. Fellows receive access to:

4 multi-week courses
4 one-day (6hr) classes
4 three-hour seminars
3-day pass to the 2022 and 2023 Muse & the Marketplace conferences
Access to GrubStreet's Education Director and/or other program staff members for quarterly (or as-needed) office hours for personalized mentorship. (Not Required)

To learn more, see below and also check out, “My Big Debt to GrubStreet? Grub is Compass and Lifesaver,” by first-time Emerging Fellowship recipient, Shawnna Thomas.

We hope that this year's fellows will be able to join us in-person for classes and events. Priority will be given to applicants who will be able to join us in Boston when it's safe to do so.

Apply before the deadline on Monday, February 28th, 2022 at 11:59PM EST!
