Short of publishing your own book, opportunities to make money writing fiction are hard to come by, especially for new writers.
A writing fellowship can be a great career booster, offering invaluable experience, publication and resume fodder. Oh — and you usually get paid to write, too.
Usually a fellowship requires you to be a resident for a few months or a year, and often requires a college degree or enrollment.
But we found a virtual writing fellowship open to any writer over 18 years old that allows you to be a “writer-in-residence” and gain all of those benefits — without leaving your home.
Apply for the Kathy Fish Fellowship With SmokeLong Quarterly
“SmokeLong” is a quarterly online literary magazine dedicated to flash fiction (stories of 1,000 words or less). It’s accepting applications for a 2017 virtual writer-in-residence through its Kathy Fish Fellowship.
As the Fellowship winner, you would:
- Be considered a “writer-in-residence.”
- Have one piece of flash fiction published in each quarterly issue (March, June, September and December 2017).
- Receive $500: $100 on announcement of the winner and $100 for each published piece throughout the year.
- Work with “SmokeLong” staff and attend online writing workshops.
You’re eligible to apply if you:
- Haven’t previously been published in “SmokeLong”
- Haven’t previously published a chapbook or book-length work in any genre, including self-publishing or any works under contract
- Are at least 18 years old
To apply: Submit your application via Submittable before September 15.
You’ll need to answer a few questions about yourself and include four samples of flash fiction, including at least one unpublished. The application is free with a $5 suggested donation to support future fellowship awards.
Your Turn: Have you seen any interesting virtual writing jobs lately?
