Literature Fellowships: Creative Writing

National Endowment for the Arts

http://www.nea.gov/grants/apply/Lit/index.html

Fellowships in prose (fiction and creative nonfiction) or poetry are available to published creative writers. Fellowships enable recipients to set aside time for writing, research, travel, and general career advancement. This program operates on a two-year cycle with fellowships in prose available in FY 2010 and fellowships in poetry available in FY 2011. Individuals may apply only once each year. Competition for fellowships is extremely rigorous. Potential applicants should consider carefully whether their work will be competitive at the national level.

NEA Does Not Fund:
- News reporting.
- Scholarly writing. (Writers who are engaged in scholarly work may wish to contact the National Endowment for the Humanities.)
- Work toward academic degrees.

For FY 2011/Poetry
The Grants.gov system must receive your application no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 4, 2010. The Arts Endowment will not accept late applications. Do not expect notification of awards and rejections before late December 2010. The Arts Endowment’s support of a fellowship may begin any time between January 1, 2011, and January 1, 2012, and extend for up to two years.
