Up to five Fellows are selected for the inaugural 2027–2028 cohort, receiving a residency, ongoing online community engagement, and mentorship opportunities over a year.

Fully funded residency, access to Sustaining Circle, optional one-to-one mentorship, opportunities to share work in readings, and ongoing online community participation

Eligible writers are African American, African, Black, and Native American/Alaska Native writers who have never attended a writing residency, have not published a book, and have not earned a graduate-level degree in creative writing.
