Description
The A.M. Rosenthal Writer-in-Residence Fellowship brings professional nonfiction writers to the Shorenstein Center at Harvard Kennedy School to conduct research and work on a specific project. It combines time for research and writing with opportunities to interact with the school’s community of scholars and students. Nonfiction writers and journalists working on long-form, book-length projects can apply through the Shorenstein fellowship program.
Created in memory of former New York Times Executive Editor Abe Rosenthal after his death in 2006, the fellowship was funded through gifts from his widow, Shirley Lord Rosenthal, alongside individual donors and family foundations. Past writers-in-residence have worked in journalism, memoir, essays, history, and narrative nonfiction.
