Announcing The Align Your Story Fellowship Program for Writers
A new fellowship program designed to support serious writers working in any genre who want to explore a mindful, embodied approach to writing.
Award-winning poet, memoirist, writing teacher, yogi, and activist, Nadia Colburn, Ph.D., RYT 200, who runs an online creative writing school, is excited to announce The Align Your Story Fellowship Program for Writers. [https://nadiacolburn.com/align-your-story-fellowship-program/]
The Align Your Story Fellowship Program is designed to support serious writers working in any genre who want to deepen their practice and craft and explore a mindful, embodied approach to writing. The program will be conducted online and is open to writers everywhere.
The Fellowship's unique holistic, integrative writing curriculum, which includes guided meditation, yoga, the close study of literature, and step-by-step writing lessons and prompts, will help the Fellows hone their creative voice and vision, develop greater confidence and skills, find greater freedom and range on the page, heal their stories, bring mind and body together in the writing process, and find a greater sense of fulfillment in their writing-and life.
The fellowships will run from mid-May to mid-August 2025 (though there is some flexibility around the start date, if needed). And fellows will receive lifetime access to the online writing course included in their award package.
There are six fellowships, each named for a writer whose work will be studied in the program. All are open to writers working in any genre: The Sappho Writing Fellowship, for a writer of any age and background; The Virginia Woolf Under 30 Writing Fellowship, for a writer under 30 of any background,; The Zora Neale Hurston Writing Fellowship, for a writer of any age who identifies as a person of color; The Maya Angelou Writing Fellowship for Teachers, for a teacher of any age and background; and The Mary Oliver Writing Fellowship, which will be awarded to two writers of any background and age.
The Sappho, Virginia Woolf, Zora Neale Hurston, and Maya Angelou Fellowships have award packages worth over $5,000 and include a full tuition waiver for the online writing class Align Your Story; two private one-on-one mentoring sessions with Colburn; and 3 months of membership in the Align Mindful Embodied Writers Collective, Nadia Colburn's ongoing writing community.
The two Mary Oliver Fellowships have award packages worth over $3,500 and include a full tuition waiver for the Align Your Story course and 3 months of membership in the Align Mindful Embodied Writers Collective.
In addition to the 6 writers selected for these fellowships 12 other top contenders will receive scholarships, discounts, and other opportunities at Nadia Colburn's writing school.
Nadia Colburn is an award-winning poet and memoir writer, and the author of two books. She has taught literature at MIT, holds a PhD in English from Columbia University, and is a certified yoga teacher and mindfulness instructor. Her community of online writing students includes over 30,000 mindful writers.
