C4F Announces 2019 Emerging Writing Fellows
The Center for Fiction has named the nine recipients of its 2019 NYC Emerging Writers Fellowship. Coryn Brown, Bryna Peebles Cofrin-Shaw, Jonathan Durbin, Cally Fiedorek, Caroline K. Fulford, Nusrat Hossain, Alanna Schubach, Sara Wang, and Jeri Ziegler were selected from a pool of 456 applicants in a blind judging process by writers Sara Batkie, Tadzio Koelb, and Jordy Rosenberg.
The NYC Emerging Writers Fellowship, which now in its ninth year, is open to all early-career writers residing within the five boroughs of New York City. Along with receiving a $5,000 grant and 12 months of studio space at the Center, the fellowship recipients work closely with an experienced editor to shape first books for submission, attend monthly group dinners with notable agents, editors, and published writers, and take part in two public readings held at the Center. In addition, their fiction is included in an anthology that is distributed to agents and editors.
