A Wallace Stegner Fellowship provides writers with a living stipend of US$26,000 per year for a period of two years.
In addition, fellows’ tuition and health insurance are paid for by the University’s creative writing program.
The program allows writers to hone their skills while receiving guidance from Stanford’s distinguished creative writing faculty.
Wallace Stegner originally came to Stanford in the 1940s as an American fiction writer and environmentalist.
Dana Kletter, a professional musician and current first-year fiction fellow in the Stegner Fellowship, has an MFA from the University of Michigan.
She said that the amount of free time is one of the biggest benefits – and challenges – to being a Stegner fellow. Aside from the workshop where you bring in two pieces of writing a quarter, you don’t have a schedule,” said Kletter.Ten two-year fellowships, five in poetry and five in fiction, are given annually to allow emerging writers to develop their craft in workshops with senior faculty members at Stanford University.Each fellowship includes a ,000 annual stipend, a tuition waiver, and health insurance.Unlike a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program, the Stegner Fellowship offers no degree.However, Boland said, “We choose people who are by now pretty well published and probably will either leave the program with a book and a contract or with a finished book. Many of the people who come here have already been in writing programs, already have their MFAs.” Boland said she believes that the Stegner Fellowship is probably the last set of workshops a Stegner fellow will ever take.Fellows can also become involved in Stanford’s Writer’s Studio or Poetry House, resources that undergraduates use for writing help.Molly Mc Cully Brown ’12, an English major, completed a Levinthal Tutorial in poetry during winter quarter.No degrees are required to apply, and no degrees are awarded.Submit 10 to 15 pages of poetry or a fiction manuscript of up to 9,000 words with a entry fee by December 1. Throughout their time as “Stegners,” writers participate in three quarter-long writing workshops each year.Each workshop meets once a week and is taught by one of the faculty in their field.
