UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2018What next? That question confronts many MFA candidates nearing graduation. The soon-to-be degreed writer has just spent (typically) two years submitting manuscripts to workshops and receiving critiques.

She has completed a book-length work and therefore fulfilled the creative thesis requirement. Now she possesses readers’ comments on that work, too. It’s clear that she must revise to get that first book fully ready for publication. But who can guarantee the time or resources to support this next crucial stage?Some fellowship and writer-in-residence opportunities allow emerging writers to continue crafting their work, often with both financial and intellectual support. Most offer the comfort and camaraderie of an artistic or academic community, as well. While not all programs require a graduate degree in creative writing, some do; others often expect the teaching ability and level of accomplishment frequently associated with having earned a graduate-level degree.

For some programs, in fact, teaching is an integral part of the fellowship.On this page I will try to keep a comprehensive (and current) list of these opportunities. Please let me know (in comments) about additional programs you think belong here, and/or about any problems you may encounter with the links.Please note that I am not intending for this list to focus on relatively short-term residencies, or, with a few exceptions, on programs that seem to expect writers to have published a book before application. If you want to locate more opportunities along those lines, I suggest that you consult the database and the and Web sites.Note also that deadlines (and application fees, when applicable—yes, unfortunately, some of these applications will cost money to submit) can vary and may even change within a given fellowship program from year to year. In regards to the comment on your old blog (for those who haven’t read it: the application procedure requires you to pay the application fee in advance, in order to be sent a link to the online application via email, and the commenter never received the link), I’ve applied to Akademie Schloss Solitude before, and had no trouble receiving the application. I don’t doubt the other commenter’s assertions that they make no bones about being unresponsive to potential applicants (I had no technical problems with my application, so I have a limited perspective.), but I just want to offer my own experience as a counterpoint, especially because there’s so little available about them on the web, in English at least, that it can be hard to feel like you’re not sending your time/effort/money into a void!

NPR affiliate WBEZ 91.5 FM Chicago broadcast a dramatic reading of this short story as part of its Stories on Stage program. Set in Birmingham, Alabama, written in Southern vernacular, the story is told by Andre, an eight-year-old boy who misses his absent father while in church one Sunday. Though precocious, Andre is not old enough to fully understand the world around him and the circumstances that affect his life. What he understands—and what he doesn’t—drives the story’s humor and sadness. Dana Crum can spin a tale as well as anyone, and he makes words sing and dance.
