New Literary Project

Ten fellowships of $5,000 each are given annually to creative writers who are high school teachers to support summer work on an ongoing fiction, creative nonfiction, or memoir project. Full-time instructors at accredited U.S. high schools teaching in the 2024–2025 academic year who are contracted to return to their schools in fall 2025 and who have been teaching for at least three years are eligible. The New Literary Project selection committee and program director Ian S. Maloney will judge. Using only the online submission system, submit a writing sample of up to 5,000 words of prose, a brief bio, a curriculum vitae, a project description, and contact information for the head of school by January 3, 2025. There is no entry fee. Visit the website for complete guidelines.
