The Logan Nonfiction Program is excited to announce that applications are now open for its 2022 hybrid fellowship. Designed to support nonfiction creators working on impactful long-form projects, the fellowship combines an eight-week virtual program with two in-person residencies at the Carey Institute for Global Good’s picturesque 100-acre campus in Rensselaerville, New York.
Two fellowship classes will be offered in 2022—one in the spring and another in late summer—with up to 12 fellows in each cohort. Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis.
“We are thrilled to welcome another cohort of talented nonfiction creators dedicated to producing work that addresses critical global issues,” said Carly Willsie, head of the Logan Nonfiction Program. “By blending in-person collaboration with a robust virtual curriculum, we aim to provide fellows with an enriching experience that deeply enhances the quality and impact of their projects.”
Fellowship Structure
The program, made possible by a recent $1 million grant from the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, begins with a weeklong in-person residency at the Carey Institute. Fellows will participate in workshops, networking events, and work sessions designed to set the stage for focused progress on their projects.
The following eight weeks will take place virtually, featuring:
- Capacity-building panels led by award-winning journalists and documentary filmmakers.
- Focused work sessions to develop projects.
- Peer-to-peer discussions for feedback and collaboration.
- Virtual film screenings and community-building events.
The fellowship concludes with a second in-person residency, where fellows and mentors reconvene to evaluate progress, share insights, and celebrate accomplishments. Travel, lodging, and meals for the residencies are fully covered by the program.
