Congratulations to the 38 writers who were awarded Creative Writing Fellowships from the National Endowment of the Arts this year, each receiving an award of $25,000.

Two of these writers recently published stories in NER: Rebecca Makkai’s story “The Briefcase” was featured in 29.2, and Melinda Moustakis published “What You Can Endure” in 32.1. The Fellowships will give these writers an opportunity to “set aside time for writing, research, travel, and general career advancement.” Congratulations!
