Funded Fellowships for Writers and Artists from Carey Institute in the US

The Carey Institute for Global Good is offering nonfiction writers, documentary filmmakers, photojournalists, podcasters and multimedia creators to join the Logan Nonfiction Fellowship program from October to December 2019. Fellowships range between 5-10 weeks and take place on the Institute’s 100-acre campus in upstate New York, United States.

Eligibility Criteria:

1. The Logan Nonfiction Program accepts applications from: Nonfiction writers, photojournalists, documentary filmmakers, podcasters and radio reporters and multimedia creators
2. Applicants must be at work on a long-form project in order to apply (e.g.: an article, book, film, collection, podcast, etc.)
3. Applications from academics and non-professional journalists are accepted, as long as the intended audience of the project is the general public
4. Projects that examine the most pressing issues of the day are particularly encouraged, including but not limited to: conflict and security; democracy and governance; education; environment and climate change; food security; gender, race, disability and intersectionality; globalization; health; inequality and exclusion; media and journalism; social justice; and sustainability and resilience
5. Fellows are selected for the program based on the quality, relevance, professional experience and promise of the applicant’s work (10-20 applicants will be selected)
6. The Logan Nonfiction Program is committed to building a diverse and inclusive class of fellows. The Carey Institute does not discriminate in its programs and activities against anyone
7. Small groups (2 to 3 individuals) of journalists wishing to work collaboratively are encouraged to apply. Each member of the group will need to submit an individual application
8. Professionals who work in languages other than English are welcome to apply if they can supply samples of work in translation as well as in the original. A working knowledge of English is necessary for international applicants, as the Institute does not provide an interpreter for residents

What the Fellowship Covers:

There is no fee to apply to program, and accepted fellows do not need to pay tuition or residency fees, but do need to fund their travel to the area. There is no reporting stipend or grant associated with the program, but fellows are provided lodging, meals, workspace, professional guidance and community.
