AF WKLY / Fellowship
The Ann Friedman Weekly Fellowship is an annual program for nonfiction writers who are not yet established in their careers. It includes mentorship and editing; a $5,000 stipend; regular check-ins to provide structure and accountability; and space in my newsletter where fellows can publish and promote their work. This program is funded by paying members of the Ann Friedman Weekly.
The application period for 2026 will open in February. In the past, the application period has opened in December, but in 2026 I’m shifting the schedule back a few months. The 2026 fellowship will begin in May and run until February of next year.
