Applications for the next round of The Open Notebook/Burroughs Wellcome Fund fellowship for early-career science writers are open.
This ten-month fellowship is remote and part-time. Fellows will report and write five articles for publication at The Open Notebook—a mix of “story behind the story” interviews and reported features—with the guidance of a mentor who will help shape story ideas, provide reporting and writing guidance, edit final copy, and offer career-development mentoring. Fellows and mentors will also take part in a Slack-based professional discussion group composed of former fellowship participants and TON editors. During the fellowship, fellows will be responsible for hosting two informal Slack discussions centered on aspects of craft that are of interest to them.
WORTH
- Each fellow will receive a stipend of $4,000.
