Fresh Voices Fellowship
Deadline October 15 (must be received by this date), formerly December 1. Recommended free contest from Epiphany Magazine awards year-long editorial fellowship opportunity for one or more emerging Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, or other writer of color who does not have an advanced degree (MA, MFA, PhD) and is not currently enrolled in a degree-granting creative writing program. Applicants must not have published or be contracted to publish a full-length book (excluding self-publication). Fellowship includes a stipend of $2,000, a publication in a print issue of Epiphany, a one-year print subscription to Epiphany, and a Q&A to be published on Epiphany’s website. Submit a work sample, 5 double-spaced pages, that "you feel most represents you, your interests, and your literary style" via sponsor's online submission portal. Also include a cover letter, which will tell the judges about "yourself as an artist, your relationship to the mainstream literary/publishing world, and what you are hoping to gain by working in a literary magazine environment for a year." Be sure to read sponsor's complete guidelines before entering.
