The Dutch Foundation for Literature and NIAS invite publishers and others to nominate a writer for the writer-in-residence fellowship at NIAS in Amsterdam for the academic year 2023/24.
This position is intended for a literary writer who is working on a project that would benefit from an extended stay as part of a diverse community of international scholars. Nominations can be submitted until 15 March 2023. For more information about the nomination procedure, see here.
The writer-in-residence programme is a joint initiative by NIAS and the Dutch Foundation for Literature (Nederlands Letterenfonds). For the academic year 2023/24, they offer one fellowship for a Dutch literary writer (September 2023 until February 2024). Candidates should have a project proposal that clearly benefits from a NIAS stay and the exchange of ideas with scholars from the humanities, social sciences and other disciplines. The candidate is expected to have excellent English speaking skills so that they can fully participate in the international setting at NIAS.
Current writer-in-residence is Michael Tedja.
