Residencies, Fellowships, and More [Oct '22]
Every month, MWL posts residencies, fellowships, grants, and pitch opportunities for writers and artists across mediums. Feel free to share on social media or message this to your artist friends. You don’t get opportunities that you don’t pursue OR prepare for.
RESIDENCIES AND FELLOWSHIPS
#1 | ART OMI RESIDENCIES [DUE OCTOBER 15]
“Art Omi: Writers hosts authors and translators from around the world for residencies throughout the spring and fall. The program’s strong international emphasis provides exposure for global literary voices and reflects the spirit of cultural exchange that is essential to Art Omi’s mission.”

#3 | BLACK MOUNTAIN INSTITUTE SHEARING FELLOWSHIP [DUE NOVEMBER 1]
“For emerging and distinguished writers who have published at least one book with a trade or literary press, this fellowship includes: a stipend of $20,000 paid over a four-month period; a semester-long letter of appointment; eligibility for optional health coverage; office space in the BMI offices on the campus of UNLV; free housing (fellows cover some utilities) in a unique and vibrant arts complex in the bustling district of downtown Las Vegas—home to The Writer’s Block, our city’s beloved independent bookstore; and recognition in BMI’s literature, and on The Believer’s masthead, as a “Shearing Fellow.”
#4 | FORGE FELLOWSHIP [DUE NOVEMBER 1]
“With a FORGE Fellowship, we invite individual makers and small teams (of no more than three) at any point in their career or process to spend a year (February through January) digging in, getting curious, and defining success. Learn to articulate your work to fellow innovators, concoct creative solutions to today’s conundrums, and retrofit your process with guidance from FORGE and leaders in your field.”
#5 | VELVET PARK WRITING RESIDENCY {DUE NOVEMBER 15}
“Winter/Spring application is open to emerging and established LGBTQ+ Writers. As we head into our second year of the residency we are excited to welcome poets, fiction, creative fiction, and multidisciplinary writers to apply. A private workspace will be awarded to a selected writer, based on application project proposal and strength of past works.”
