Application Requirements:

● We accept manuscripts for novels or linked short story collections.

● We look for a small number of talented fiction writers with promising novel drafts. BookEnds requires a sustained commitment to a manuscript in progress, and the ability to generate constructive criticism for and with a small group of peers.

● To apply, we require the following documents: novel manuscript, a statement of purpose (300 words maximum), a summary of the novel (300 words maximum), and a resume.

● Standard application deadline is December 4, 2024, or when we reach fifty applications.  Interviews take place in February. Once admitted fellows are notified, they will have seven days to accept the offer. 

● If your manuscript is selected, cost for the program is $10,400. We have a limited number of need-based, partial scholarships to offset the cost of the program. 

●  The application software is generated through Submittable, and therefore requires a Submittable account.
