WNBA Authentic Voices Fellowship

2023 WNBA Authentic Voices Fellowship

To make the world of publishing more equitable, WNBA is seeking a new set of diverse voices for their 2023 iteration of WNBA Authentic Voices.

This will be the third set of writers participating in the program, which strives to empower underrepresented communities to compete in the publishing industry by providing them with the foundation and mentorship to break through the glass ceiling.

What is WNBA Authentic Voices?

WNBA Authentic Voices is a fellowship where up to seven applicants will be mentored across a four-month period in writing, editing, marketing, querying, and publishing.

Following the conclusion of the fellowship, the fellows will have their work published in an anthology. Check out The Roots That Helps Us Grow, the first volume in our Authentic Voices anthology.

The fellowship is currently open for application and free to apply. It is not required to be a WNBA member to apply. You may apply for the WNBA Authentic Voices Fellowship here.
