Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Foglifter Press will award two Queer/Trans writers artistic fellowships. We will award one fellowship to a writer 18-25 years old, and we will award one fellowship to a writer 50+ years old. Each writer will be featured in the journal issue released during their fellowship, and they will headline the release party reading. In the spring of 2021, the two fellows will collaborate to curate and produce an intergenerational Foglifter reading.

Organization Summary

Foglifter operates four core programs: 1) Annually publishes two issues of our Foglifter literary journal featuring the original work of 60–80 2SLGBTQIA+ literary artists who receive honorariums for publication; 2) Annually publishes one Start a Riot! chapbook with prize winning authors receiving honorariums/royalties); 3) Annually produces at least four free literary events each featuring at last six 2SLGBTQIA+ writers who receive honorariums; 4) Invests in the professional development of 2SLGBTQIA+ literary artists through our programming, workshops, social media outreach and guest editorships featuring paid honorariums.
