Playwriting Fellowship
Description
Emory University offers a two-year Playwriting Fellowship in connection with its BA in Playwriting, a joint major offered by Theater Studies and the Creative Writing Program. Beginning in Fall 2025, the Fellowship offers a $50,000 salary, health benefits, and $1,000 annual travel fund. The Fellow will have a 2-1 teaching load, including both playwriting workshops and literature courses such as “Contemporary Drama.” The Playwriting Fellow will give a public reading for the Creative Writing Reading Series, and work with Theater Emory to develop a new play over the course of the fellowship. Fellows may be asked to advise student honors theses and/or perform other mentoring activities.
A two-year commitment is assumed but the contract renewal for the second year is contingent on a positive review of the first year.
