Outpost Fellows in Residence

The Outpost Foundation’s flagship program is a residency that awards two BIPOC writers from the United States and Latin America a $2,000 stipend as well as complimentary travel, lodging, and meals to spend the month of September cultivating a generative writing community in the mountains of Southern Vermont. In addition to the time spent in residence, Outpost Fellows in Residence will engage in organized interactions with the community of local universities and bookstores, allowing space to share their work and expand their networks.

Outpost Vermont Fellows

Each calendar year, The Outpost Foundation will invite one BIPOC Vermont writer to receive our ongoing support in the form of manuscript reviews, meetings with literary professionals, and a week-long residency on the property. In addition, they will receive a $2,500 award. The Outpost Vermont Fellow will also help to select the finalists for the Outpost Fellows in Residence and will facilitate several statewide enrichment opportunities for high school students who are aspiring poets, fiction writers and essayists. If you know of a dynamic BIPOC Vermont writer and want to be sure they are on our radar, please reach out.

The Outpost Foundation is a registered 501 (c)(3) organization that advocates for creative writers of color from the United States and Latin America. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation, you may do so via PayPal, Venmo, or Stock Donator. Your generosity will go to support our fellows while in residence.
