NC WRITERS’ NETWORK WEYMOUTH FELLOWSHIP

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, the NC Writers’ Network sponsors an annual fellowship to fund a week’s residency at the Weymouth Center for a writer who has never enjoyed a Weymouth residency before, and who would not be able to attend without this fellowship.

The NCWN Weymouth Fellowship awards $500 each year to cover travel, groceries and other supplies for the residency, while the Weymouth Center provides the residency space.

Interested writers may submit applications between April 15 and June 1 each year, via Submittable.

Applicants must be North Carolina residents and/or members of the NC Writers’ Network.

To apply, writers must submit the following:

· A sample of work produced within the last two years.

· A resume or CV that includes publications, awards, and honors. 

· A 250-word essay describing the project that the applicant plans to work on during residency, and why time at Weymouth Center will support progress on that project. 

Finalists for the fellowship may be asked to provide proof of need and, if necessary, residency.

The winner of the NCWN Weymouth Fellowship will be announced in July. The fellowship recipient will schedule their residency with Weymouth staff directly.

Questions should be directed to NCWN Executive Director Ed Southern at ed@ncwriters.org.
