Opportunities For Parents
MVICW PARENT-WRITER FELLOWSHIPS
Deadline for Submissions: February 1st, 2021
We are proud to announce the MVICW Parent-Writer Fellowships (est. in 2016 by generous support from The Sustainable Arts Foundation).
Writers who are also parents have increased difficulties in making time for their writing. Our Parent-Writer Fellowships are intended to give parents the time and financial support to devote a week to themselves and their writing at MVICW. The fellowships are open to anyone who has a child age 16 or younger living with them. Four recipients (two in poetry, two in fiction/CNF) will receive the full retreat package, covering tuition and lodging. Two runners-up (one in each genre) will receive $500 credit toward the cost of tuition.
Three Full Fellowships:
One Poetry & One Fiction/CNF
& Third in Either Genre
Tuition & Lodging for the Week
$1700 Fellowship Value
Two Second Prize Fellowships:
One Poetry & One Fiction/CNF
$500 Toward Tuition
Please note: In the case that the 2021 Summer Writers’ Conference must be virtual (due to continued health concerns with Covid-19), first place Fellowship & Contest winners will receive full registration for the conference as their award. Second prize winners will receive $500 off registration.
