Three fellowships are given annually to writers of exceptional promise to pursue independent projects in the humanities at Princeton University for an academic year. Each fellowship includes a $60,000 stipend. Typically the fellows are poets, novelists, creative nonfiction writers, and translators who have published one highly acclaimed work and are undertaking a significant new project that might not be possible without the “studious leisure” afforded by the fellowship. Fellows are required to live in Princeton during the 2009-2010 academic year. Preference is given to individuals outside of academia, and PhD candidates are not eligible. Submit up to 10 pages of poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction, a resumé, and a project proposal of two to three pages by November 1. There is no entry fee.
