Guidelines To Apply:

At Nightboat, we strongly oppose using generative AI for our editorial work, and we expect all applicants to submit their own writing, as well as refrain from using AI for interview assistance. A significant part of this fellowship involves applying and sharpening your reading and writing skills. We want to hear your voice.

1) A statement summarizing your editorial interests and previous literary experience (500 words) —what are you reading/listening to/watching right now? What writing, performance, events, and community organizing have you participated in?

2) An example of a project(s) you’d be interested in bringing to Nightboat. This can be purely speculative (200 words)—is there a writer whose work you think deserves collecting? What kinds of aesthetic forms are you invested in? Are there communities outside of experimental writing you’d like to collaborate with and engage? Please note, if you are awarded the Editorial Fellowship, you will not be required to pursue this particular project. 

3) A current CV.

Eligibility:

*Be able to commit to the two-year fellowship position.
