# About the Pomegranate Writing Fellowship

The Pomegranate Writing Fellowship for Jewish Women of Color\* is a year-long program that will provide support and structure for Jewish women and gender-expansive people of color who are ready to build momentum in their writing careers.

Fellows will be emerging and mid-career writers residing in North America who are passionate about writing and excited to pursue new creative and professional possibilities. With the support of mentors, professional development workshops, and a cohort of peers, each Fellow will develop the creative and practical skills they need to thrive as professional writers. Fellows will also receive a stipend, recognizing their commitment to the program.

Over the course of the Fellowship, each Fellow will create 2-4 pieces of original writing. The Fellowship Director and staff will provide guidance through 1:1 feedback, coaching, and editing support.

By the end of the Fellowship, Fellows will have created new work that speaks to their unique perspectives and will have shared that work with a broad audience through JWA and beyond. They will have had a foundational role in shaping a supportive and lasting writing community.

The Fellowship is directed by Rabbi Georgette Kennebrae. Learn more about her on [JWA’s staff page](/aboutjwa/whoweare#gkennebrae).

This Fellowship is made possible with the generous support of the Jews of Color Initiative, the SRE Network, and the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation.
