NBCC Emerging Critics Fellowship
About this opportunity
The National Book Critics Circle Emerging Critics Fellowship identifies and nurtures the next generation of book critics through a structured year-long programme of mentorship, lectures, and professional development. Fellows are paired with NBCC board members and participate in small-group sessions with leading editors and writers, building the skills and networks needed to sustain a career in literary criticism.
Application tips
Your statement of purpose should articulate not just what you want to review but why literary criticism matters to you. Submit writing samples that show analytical depth and a distinctive voice, even if they are not formally published reviews.
