Modelled on WriteNow, a similar program run by Penguin Random House in the United Kingdom, both initiatives have been established to respond to the fact that books published are not always reflective of everyone in society, and that the voices of those who might otherwise be overlooked must be championed. The success of the UK program, under which six writers have been offered publishing deals since its inception in 2016, is evidence of this in action.
The fellowship recipients will be announced 28 June 2019.
