New Writing North announce partnership with Jerwood Foundation
Posted by
The Jerwood Fellowship for Emerging Writers at New Writing North will be awarded to three early-career writers, currently living in the North of England. Each writer will receive a bursary of £10,000 and a bespoke package of support, including mentoring, over the course of a year.
The fellowship will be open to writers of fiction, poetry or narrative non-fiction who have had work professionally published. With a focus on artistic excellence, this incredible opportunity aims to support writers at a pivotal point in their careers, as they develop new work towards publication, capitalising on the expertise they develop in the year of development at New Writing North.
Applications will open on 3 September 2025. More information, including eligibility criteria and information sessions, will be published on the New Writing North website from 1 August 2025.
