For emerging writers, teachers, and more!
GrubStreet offers unique fellowships that support writers and writing instructors in developing their craft and finding writing community that can sustain them for years to come. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are able to provide free classes, mentorship, working artist stipends, and professional development to passionate writers and educators each year.
Teen Summer Writing Fellowship The Fellows
GrubStreet's Teen Summer Writing Fellowship immerses high school students in the writer's life of creative craft and publishing. During three weeks at GrubStreet, teens work with published authors and meet with literary agents and editors, take field trips to inspirational locales like the ICA, and more. In the spirit of writers' residencies for adults, all teens will receive a stipend for their commitment to the program and their time spent as working writers.
Emerging Writer Fellowship The Fellows
The Emerging Writer Fellowship aims to develop new, exciting voices by providing three writers per year tuition-free access to GrubStreet’s classes and Muse & the Marketplace conferences. Over the course of one year, each Emerging Writer Fellow will attend two Muse & the Marketplace conferences and classes of their choice to enhance their understanding of craft & the publishing industry.
Teaching Fellowship for Black Writers The Fellows
GrubStreet’s Teaching Fellowship for Black Writers provides financial & professional development support to two Black writers interested in teaching classes, participating in events, and working with our instructors and staff to deepen our curriculum. The fellowship includes compensation of $25,000, artistic mentorship, and access to the GrubStreet community and the Muse conference.
