Here are the 2022 National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellows.

The National Endowment for the Arts has made public their list of this year’s recipients of Literature Fellowships in Creative Writing, which provide $25,000 grants to published creative writers that enable the recipients to set aside time for writing, research, travel, and general career advancement. The Arts Endowment awards fellowships in poetry in odd years and in prose in even years; this year, all the fellows are prose writers.
