| CBS Diversity Institute Writers Mentoring Program | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
Application must be NOTARIZED, so cannot sent through WordHustler. See website for details. There are many different paths writers can follow to get their first foothold in being hired in television. As part of its ongoing commitment to create additional access for writers of diverse backgrounds, CBS' Diversity Institute has launched a different kind of writers program, which highlights one of those paths. The focus of this six month program is on opening doors: providing opportunities to build relationships with network executives and show runners; to support new and emerging writers in their efforts to improve their craft; and to develop the interpersonal skills necessary to break in and succeed. The CBS Writers Mentoring Program is not employment and there is no monetary compensation. It is, instead, a structured program of career development, support, and personal access to executives and decision-making processes, with the goal of preparing aspiring writers for later employment opportunities in television. Eligibility The primary focus of CBS' Diversity Writers Mentoring Program is to provide access and opportunities for talented and motivated diverse writers with a focus on writers of color. Aspiring diverse writers with a strong desire to write for CBS television series are encouraged to apply. You must be 21 or older to be eligible. Application Materials Each submission must be complete in order to be considered. A complete application packet includes: * Application * Letter of Interest * Work Resume or Bio * Two (2) Writing Samples: one (1) original piece of work which can be a screenplay, a stage play or a short fiction story (no original television pilots will be accepted) and one (1) half hour or hour episode based on a current, primetime television series that aired new episodes on any network or cable channel during the 2006/07 season * A signed and notarized Submission Release form for the writing samples. send: see details looking for: Screenplay |

| Raiziss/de Palchi Translation Awards | Updated November 17th, 2008 |

The Academy of American Poets is pleased to announce the competition for the 2009 Raiziss/de Palchi Fellowship for the translation of modern Italian poetry. The fellowship, which is awarded every other year, is given to enable an American translator to travel, study, or otherwise advance a significant work-in-progress. The Academy invites applications from American translators currently engaged in the translation of twentieth-century Italian poetry. Applications must be postmarked between September 1 and December 31, 2008. A panel of judges will select the recipient of the fellowship. The winning translator will receive an award of $25,000 and a six week residency at the American Academy in Rome. The judges for this year will be announced in August. To apply, a translator must submit four copies of a proposal describing the work-in-progress, the applicant's credentials, and how the fellowship money will be used. Applications should be no longer than five pages double-spaced. The applicant must verify that he or she has obtained permission to translate the poems specified in his or her application or that the poems are in the public domain. The translator must submit 15 sample pages of the translation in progress as well as copies of the original poems. Each application must be accompanied by a completed entry form signifying the applicant's acceptance of these guidelines. The decision of the judges is expected by March 2009. The Academy will award the winning translator a fellowship of $25,000. The fellowship winner will also receive a six-week residency at the American Academy in Rome to establish residency dates which fall in May, June, or July of 2009. send: see details looking for: Poetry specifically: Translation |
