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. Every listing is checked for real pay or a real award — explicitly unpaid calls are filtered out, and contests whose entry fee outweighs any stated prize are rejected automatically.

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.
