The Dumaguete National Writers Workshop (Sillliman University)



NOW ACCEPTING APPLICANTS



A minimum of twelve (12) fellowships are open every summer for young writers, all over the country. The first screening panel, composed of members of the Creative Writing Foundation, selects the writing fellows for the summer based on the manuscripts submitted by the applicants. These selected manuscripts are forwarded to the Director of the Workshop, who does the final screening and formally approves the final lineup of writing fellows.



The writing fellowship covers



(1) board and lodging for the full 22 days of the duration of the entire workshop;

(2) workshop manuscripts and reading materials.



After the workshop, the fellows must submit to the CWF a written evaluation of the proceedings, and actively support the work of the CWF in every way they can.



The applicant must submit the following requirements: original manuscripts consisting of at least three to five short (3-5) stories or five to ten (5-10) poems (stories and poems in English are preferred); a cover letter addressed to Dr. Edith Tiempo; a diskette containing the various submitted literary works encoded in Microsoft Word Version 6.0; a recommendation letter from a renowned writer or literature teacher; two 2x2 pictures; and a brief biodata or resume



These must be sent before the deadline (February 28) to:
