Description
The Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers is an international fellowship program run by the New York Public Library. It supports sustained research and writing that benefits directly from access to the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building’s collections. Its scope includes academic and independent scholarship, journalism, translation, novels, plays, poetry, and book projects by visual artists.
The Center appoints 15 Fellows annually for a nine-month term. Alongside independent work, Fellows exchange ideas with one another and with public audiences throughout the Library. The program emphasizes top-quality writing and communication about literature and scholarship through discussion, public programs, and Fellows’ published work.
