Voices of Hope – Non-Fiction Fellowship
The Voices of Hope Non-Fiction Fellowship supports one emerging non-fiction writer every year who is working on a deeply personal or socially relevant manuscript. Whether you’re writing memoir, reportage, biography, or a narrative grounded in lived experience — this fellowship offers space, time, mentorship, and a gentle push to move your project forward.
This is not a competition. It’s a quiet space carved out for someone who needs it most.
What the Fellowship Includes
A Fully Sponsored Writing Residency 21 days of undisturbed writing time in a nurturing, natural setting where creativity and reflection go hand-in-hand.
Editorial Mentorship:Regular guidance and feedback from seasoned editors throughout your stay and beyond.
Peer Interaction: You’ll join a small group of fellow writers, exchanging notes, building community, and finding encouragement.
Publishing Support: Once your manuscript is complete, we’ll help connect you with editors and publishers who align with your voice and values.
Why This Fellowship?
Stories rooted in truth need space to breathe. Writing is a quiet revolution — a gentle act of courage and clarity. Somewhere, someone needs your story, even if they don’t know it yet.
