Writing Fellowships
Guggenheim Fellowships are awarded annually to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers who are residents of the United States and Canada on the basis of achievement and exceptional promise. The awards vary in amount but in the past have ranged from $30,000 to $40,000 each. Submit a career summary, a list of publications, contact information for up to four references, and a statement of intent by September 15. Upon request of the foundation, submit up to three published books by November 22. There is no entry fee. Send an SASE or visit the website for the required entry form and complete guidelines.
