The Jennifer Weiner Fellowship is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to nurturing and empowering woman-identified emerging prose writers. Established through the generous support of acclaimed author Jennifer Weiner, in partnership with Blue Stoop, the fellowship aims to elevate voices that often go unheard in the literary world. Nearly 1000 writers applied for this unique opportunity. The final six fellows benefited from financial support, professional mentorship, networking opportunities, educational resources, and the camaraderie of their cohort. 

Founded in 2018, Blue Stoop provides high quality classes, inspiring events, and transformative professional opportunities to creative writers in the greater Philadelphia area. Blue Stoop envisions a radically inclusive literary community where Philadelphia readers and writers are thriving and supported. Blue Stoop is a fiscally sponsored 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization through CultureTrust Greater Philadelphia. Learn more about their work here.
