Chabon Announces New MacDowell Colony Fellowship

Novelist Michael Chabon, chairman of the MacDowell Colony, announced that an anonymous gift will fund a new fellowship in honor of literary agent Charlotte Sheedy. 

Chabon talked about the gift as well as Sheedy’s embrace of writers working from a place of cultural difference during festivities at The Colony’s National Benefit in New York City at The Times Center on May 18. 

The $200,000 gift from an anonymous donor will fund an annual residency of up to two months at The MacDowell Colony. The Charlotte Sheedy Fellowship will be awarded to writers representing populations across racial and cultural boundaries.
