Princeton University - Alfred Hodder Fellowships
Three stipends of $56,000 each are given to writers of exceptional promise to pursue independent projects in the humanities at Princeton University during the 2007–2008 academic year. Typically the fellows are poets, novelists, creative nonfiction writers, and translators who have published one highly acclaimed work and are undertaking a significant new project that might not be possible without the “studious leisure” afforded by the fellowship. Fellows are required to live in Princeton during the academic year. Preference is given to individuals outside of academia, and PhD candidates are not eligible. Submit no more than ten pages of poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction, a resumé, a project proposal of two to three pages, and an SASE by November 1. There is no entry fee. Visit the Web site for complete guidelines.

About Sans Serif

Sans Serif began as a literary blog in September of 2005. Over time it has evolved into a more eclectic venture, with posts on books, politics, current events, literary happenings in the San Francisco Bay Area, publishing news, the writing life, and writing exercises. This blog is written by Michelle Richmond, author of four books of fiction: The Year of Fog, Dream of the Blue Room, The Girl in the Fall-Away Dress, and No One You Know (forthcoming, 2008).
