Description
The Book Fellows Program is a structured book-development program offered by the Asian Pacific American Religions Research Initiative (APARRI) and listed by the American Academy of Religion as an external opportunity. It supports junior and senior scholars working on monographs about Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) religions, helping advance their manuscripts toward publication through workshops, developmental editing, peer feedback, and publishing guidance.

These initiatives aim to build and diversify scholarship, strengthen the academic pipeline, and promote public engagement. The Book Fellows Program specifically concentrates on scholarly writing and the development of book-length projects.
