About This Market
Oregon Literary Fellowships are intended to help Oregon writers initiate, develop or complete literary projects in poetry, fiction, literary nonfiction, drama and young readers literature. Writers in the early stages of their career are encouraged to apply. The awards are merit-based, and the minimum award amount is $2,500. Must be a resident of Oregon.
Recipients must be current, full-time Oregon residents, both at the time of application and at receipt of award. Those who have received an Oregon Literary Fellowship in the last five years, or have won an Oregon Book Award in the previous year, are ineligible. Those who have received an aggregate of $10,000 or more in literary grants in the last three years are ineligible (scholarships and teaching fellowships are not considered “literary grants”). One application per person per year will be accepted.
Female applicants may choose to be considered for the Women Writers Fellowship (addendum to application required). These applicants may receive one or the other, but not both fellowships. For writers fellowships, work authored by more than one person is ineligible.
Literary Arts staff, trustees or advisory committee members are precluded from consideration; however, if a trustee or advisory committee member takes a leave of absence, from the day an application is submitted until the January announcement, the application is eligible.
Please include the following items in your fellowship application (collated; see below): • Two copies of the Fellowship to Writers application form. • Two copies of Women Writers Fellowship addendum (optional). • Two copies of a sample of work copies of a sample of work consisting of one of the following: • 15 typed pages of poetry, no more than one poem per page, or one narrative poem or section thereof not to exceed 15 pages in length. • Not more than 25 typed, double-spaced pages (12-point text) of prose. • SASE for acknowledgment of receipt of the application (optional).
