Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a fellowship and a grant?+
A grant funds a project; a fellowship funds a person — usually with a stipend, a program of mentorship or workshops, and sometimes a residency period. Fellowships frequently fund their value in kind (tuition, housing, travel), so not every listing shows a cash figure.
Are these fellowships open to emerging writers?+
Many are specifically for emerging writers — debut authors, writers without a published book, or early-career journalists. Others target mid-career writers with a body of work. Each listing's eligibility section says which.
Where do these opportunity listings come from?+
Opportunities are aggregated daily from publishers' and organizations' own submission pages and portals, plus curated editorial sources. Filters remove explicitly unpaid calls and automatically reject contests whose entry fee outweighs any stated prize, and our curators investigate listings readers report. We can't verify every organization, so confirm the details on the organizer's own page before you apply or pay an entry fee.
Why is the organization name hidden on some listings?+
Browsing titles, deadlines, award amounts, and entry fees is free. The hosting organization and direct submission link are unlocked with a paid CozyJobs membership — that curation is what the subscription funds. Plans start at $25/month; see cozyjobs.com/pricing.
How often are these pages updated?+
Continuously. New opportunities are ingested throughout the day, deadlines are monitored, and listings are removed automatically when their submission window closes.
