We are proud to announce the participants selected for the Early Career Writers Fellowship:

This fellowship is designed to support early-career writers in developing bold, original works while navigating the complex world of storytelling and publishing. Zahina, Faiza, Franchesca and Kathryn were selected for their exceptional potential and dedication to their writing, and we are thrilled to offer them this opportunity to grow as writers and connect with like-minded peers.

Over the course of the fellowship, the participants will engage in an immersive program that includes:

The fellowship will run over several months, allowing the participants to focus deeply on their projects while receiving the support and inspiration they need to succeed. Each of their stories brings a unique perspective, and we can’t wait to see their ideas take shape as they develop their voices and engage with the community.

At the Centre for Stories, we believe in the power of storytelling to foster connection, understanding, and change. Programs like the Early Career Writers Fellowship provide essential support to emerging talent, ensuring that diverse voices continue to be heard and celebrated.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who applied for the fellowship and to the supporters who have made this program possible.

Generously funded by an anonymous donor, the fellowships are designed to give writers who are early in their career a boost throughout the manuscript assessment process.

Stay tuned as we share updates on Zahina, Faiza, Franchesca and Kathryn’s progress, celebrate their milestones, and showcase their incredible work. We’re excited to see what they will achieve through this fellowship and beyond.
