NEA Awards Creative Writing Fellowships

Dec 22, 2015

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is awarding individual creative writing fellowships of $25,000 each to 37 fiction and creative nonfiction writers from 17 states as part of its first FY 2016 grant awards. The fellowships, which are intended to give writers the time and space to create, revise, conduct research, and connect with readers, were selected from among 1,763 eligible applications by 23 readers and panelists. 

Some of this year’s fellows include Anthony Marra, author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena; Téa Obrecht, author of The Tiger’s Wife; and 2010 Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Tinkers, Paul Harding.

The NEA is an independent federal agency that was established by Congress in 1965 to support Americans' participation in the arts.
