The Munster Literature Center is offering the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Fellowship2020. The fellowship is made possible through the very generous sponsorship of Cork City Council (the municipal government). The fellowship demonstrates the commitment of the Munster Literature Centre and Cork City Council to the international short story community. It also acknowledges the special place the short story form occupies in the cultural history and contemporary practice of the city.
The fellowship requires the writer to reside in Cork for 12 weeks and find time to work on their own writing. The short story fellow would arrive in September when they would contribute a public reading and a four-morning short story masterclass to the Cork International Short Story Festival. During their 12 week stay, they will provide a 5-credit workshop with the creative writing department of University College Cork. Their mentoring duties will consist of devoting two hours each, per week, to two Cork writers over eight weeks (32 hours total). They will be welcomed into the literary social life of the city where they will have the opportunity to network with resident established writers. They would present a farewell public reading at the Boole Library of University College Cork.
Successful fellows would benefit from the prestige of receiving a highly competitive international literary award which will not only allow the writers to spend time concentrating on their own work but also acquiring more experience in literary mentoring and teaching writing in an academic context. They will have the opportunity to be inspired by living in one of Europe’s oldest cities with a well-developed cultural infrastructure and a thriving literary community. The successful fellow would receive a monthly stipend of €2500, totaling €7,500 and self-catering accommodation. Economy flights between the author's country of residence and Cork will also be covered.
