Each conference a select number of writers are awarded Daryl and Robert Davis scholarships in FICTION or POETRY. This competitive scholarship includes a full conference tuition waiver, and housing is offered at a steep discount for the duration of the conference ($350). Scholars will have full access to all conference activities and events and will have a group scholar reading with reception. Scholars will be responsible for their own travel and food costs.
In return, the scholars will be responsible for assisting the fellows, and will participate in the “Writers in the Classroom” portion of the conference, where they will spend a couple hours in the classroom of locals schools (Seacoast Collegiate High School, 9th – 12th grade) helping with basic aspects of creative writing.
Scholars are also required to perform information desk duties, and help with the conference.
Criteria
The SWC scholarships are awarded to writers who are actively publishing original work in distinguished magazines and literary periodicals, such as The Paris Review, Zoetrope, The Oxford American, The Southern Review, Poetry, Crab Orchard Review, Gulf Coast, Iowa Review, Chattahoochee Review, etc. Scholars cannot have a book published anywhere by the start of the conference.
Application
After paying the application fee ($18, button above) each applicant should submit:
1. Current CV or List of publications in last five years (place in text of email).
2. Writing Sample: Either up to 10 pages of poetry, or 15 pages of fiction - sample should contain no personal data. Please save your sample as the first initial and last name and title of poetry or fiction in your manuscript (JSmith ForWhomTheBellTolls.pdf). Pdf, doc, docx acceptable. Email subject should be Fellow/Scholar App and full name (Fellow App Ernest Hemingway).
3. Please let us know if you plan to attend the conference regardless of fellowship decision (this will have no impact on our decision, and simply helps us anticipate total attendees).
