2009 Writers' Room Fellowships

The Writers' Room of Boston is now accepting applications for our 2009 Fellowship Program. Fellowships provide free workspace, accessible 24/7 in downtown Boston, for a one-year period beginning in 2009. Awards are based upon the quality of the submitted writing sample and the project description. (Dues are currently $225 per quarter. If you do not have financial need, please consider applying for regular membership.)

This year four Emerging Writer Fellowships will be awarded to talented writers in the Greater Boston area. These fellowships are open to writers of any genre.

Submissions must be postmarked by December 31, 2008, but early applications are encouraged.

Thank you for your interest in the Writers' Room of Boston. We look forward to receiving your application.
