Congratulations to Workshop alumni Renée Branum, Danielle Valore Evans, Lance Olsen, Frances de Pontes Peebles, Anjali Sachdeva, and Maggie Shipstead. They were among the 36 writers granted a 2020 Literature Fellowship in Prose from the National Endowment for the Arts. 

The NEA Literature Fellowships program offers $25,000 grants in prose and poetry to published creative writers that enable the recipients to set aside time for writing, research, travel and general career advancement.

The Literature Fellowships program operates on a two-year cycle with fellowships in prose and poetry available in alternating years.
