Our 2026 Fellowships include full tuition & lodging to our Summer Writers’ Conference on Martha’s Vineyard, and we’d love to support your authors and poets! Our Emerging Writer Fellowships are open to all writers ages 18+ who have yet to publish a book/chapbook. And this year we also have full fellowships for Writers of Color, Queer Writers, Parent Writers, Teachers & Educators and a brand new fellowship for Full-time Caregivers. We are offering over $20,000 in Fellowships to attend, and the deadline for application is Jan 19th, 2026.
