Call for applications: Artists and writers fellowship in the US

The fellowship is aimed at participants who would like to pursue independent projects that will take place at the Lewis Centre for the Arts in New Jersey.

Hodder Fellows will spend an academic year at the university with no formal teaching involved. An $84 000 stipend is provided for the 10-month appointment as a visiting fellow. Fellowships are not intended to fund work leading to an advanced degree.

"Given the strength of the applicant pool, most successful Fellows have published a first book or have similar achievements in their own fields; the Hodder is designed to provide Fellows with the 'studious leisure' to undertake significant new work," Princeton University says.
