2012 Center for Fiction Emerging Writer Fellows

Leopoldine Core • Rosalie Knecht • Lisa Lee
Daniel Long • Manuel Martinez • Tracy O'Neill • Tim O'Sullivan
Jackie Reitzes • Seamus Scanlon

Out of a highly competitive field of 231 applications, we are thrilled to announce that these nine writers have been chosen to receive our annual fellowship for early career writers residing in the five boroughs of New York City. The fellowships last for one year, and each writer receives a grant of $3,000, 24/7 membership to our Writers' Studio, access to our circulating collection, mentorship from editors and agents, and the opportunity to read their work at public events at The Center.

This fellowship, now in its second year, is generously supported by The Jerome Foundation with matching gifts from individual donors. To learn more about the writers and the program, visit http://www.centerforfiction.org/forwriters/grants-and-awards/
