Bloomsbury Academic Writing Fellowship
In partnership with Writers & Artists
Bloomsbury and Writers & Artists are delighted to confirm the Bloomsbury Academic Writing Fellowship will run for a second successive year.
If you are of Black African or African Caribbean heritage, based in the UK, and have an idea you would like to develop into an academic book but are unsure where to start, this Fellowship is for you.
The recipient of the Bloomsbury Fellowship will receive a package of creative support throughout 2025. This will include editorial support and mentorship for one year, £1,000 of financial support, practical resources, and event and networking opportunities. The ultimate goal of this invaluable, industry-standard package of support is for the author to develop their work to a point in which they feel in a position to begin approaching prospective publishers.
Writers & Artists is proud to partner with Bloomsbury on this initiative, which we hope will remove some of the barriers to and mysteries around scholarly publishing.
Deadline for applications: midnight (GMT) on 10th November 2024.
