Laura Hruska Writing Retreat Fellowship Established
The Wellstone Center in the Redwoods, in association with independent publishing house Soho Press, has announced a new fellowship named in honor of Soho co-founder Laura Hruska, who died in 2010. The recipient of the Laura Hruska Fellowship will be provided with a room and evening meals for fourteen days at the Wellstone Center and will be able to participate in Wellstone offerings, including weekly yoga, open readings, and a Wednesday morning nature hike on the private trails extending back behind the Center into the Santa Cruz Mountains. The fellow will also receive a half-hour consultation with current Soho Press Publisher Bronwen Hruska.
To submit to the Laura Hruska Fellowship writers will need to send thirty to fifty pages of their novel, along with a rough synopsis, a cover letter explaining why they are a good fit for the residency, and a list of any writing awards, citations, credits or residencies. Submissions are to be sent to sarah@wellstoneredwoods.org and please put “Hruska Fellowship” in the subject heading. The deadline to apply is May 1, 2017.
