| 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: Short Story |

| Radcliffe Institute Fellowships | Updated November 16th, 2008 |
|
The deadline for individual applications in the creative arts, humanities, and social sciences is October 1, 2008. Former fellows of the Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program (1999 to present) are not eligible to apply. Each application is reviewed in a dual-tiered process by peers in relevant disciplines. Applications are judged on the quality and significance of the proposed project and the applicant's record of achievement and promise. Applicants are notified of the results of the selection process in early March. Terms and Conditions Stipends are funded up to $70,000 for one year with additional funds for project expenses. Some support for relocation expenses is provided where relevant. If so directed, Radcliffe will pay the stipend to the fellow's home institution. Fellows receive office or studio space and access to libraries and other resources of Harvard University during the fellowship year, which extends from early September 2009 through June 30, 2010. Fellows are expected to be free of their regular commitments so they may devote themselves full time to the work outlined in their proposal. Since this is a residential fellowship, we expect fellows to reside in the Boston area during that period and to have their primary office at the Institute so that they can participate fully in the life of the community. To be considered for a fellowship in fiction or creative nonfiction, applicants must have a contract for publication of a book-length manuscript or at least three shorter works published. Writers who are graduate students at the time of application are not eligible. Submit up to 10 poems, one or two short stories, a recent book chapter, or an essay totaling no more than 30 pages; three letters of reference (sent directly to the institute by the references); a curriculum vitae; and a project proposal by October 1. Must register ONLINE. send: see details looking for: Short Story specifically: Literary |

| Astraea Foundation Lesbian Writers Fund | Updated October 28th, 2008 |
|
Launched in 1991, the Lesbian Writer's Fund has awarded nearly a half-million dollars to emerging lesbian poets and fiction writers across the U.S. Too often, lesbian writing is marginalized by literary venues and funding sources, resulting in exceptionally talented artists unable to receive the nurturing and support so vital to their craft. The Lesbian Writers Fund is attempting to remedy this - and with good results. Two $10,000 grants are given annually to emerging lesbian poets and fiction writers. A runner-up in each category will receive a grant of $1,500. Applicants must have published work at least once in a newspaper, magazine, literary journal, or anthology but must not have published more than one book in any genre. Submit 10 to 15 pages of poetry or up to 20 pages of fiction with lesbian content and a one-paragraph biography with a $5 entry fee by June 30. send: see details looking for: Short Story |
