Fellowships provide free workspace, accessible 24/7 in downtown Boston, for a one-year period beginning in January, 2006. Awards are based upon the quality of the submitted writing sample and the project description and on the basis of financial need. (Dues are currently $185 per quarter. If you do not have financial need, please consider applying for regular membership.)
Available fellowships include:
The Wendy Kaminer Fellowship, awarded to a talented non-fiction writer.
