The fellowships are open to writers from all backgrounds but I am prioritizing writers from underrepresented communities.
Fellows will contract directly with Substack for the stipend.Īdditionally, I will meet with fellows once a month over the course of the year to provide mentorship on both craft and navigating the business of writing. Roxane Gay has announced the Joel Gay Creative Fellowship, designed “to support three emerging writers over the course of the year as they develop and publish a newsletter on the Substack platform.”įellows will receive a $25,000 stipend, paid monthly from the initial publication of their newsletter, as well as up to $15,000 in services from Substack, including editorial support, design assistance in developing a logo for your newsletter, access to Getty Images, Substack Defender, and other business support services.
