The Revealer prides itself on top-notch writing about religion for a broad public audience. Our writers include scholars, journalists, and freelance writers. This month, we are announcing an exciting media partnership for religion scholars who hope to share their expertise with the public.

The Revealer is partnering with Sacred Writes, a Henry R. Luce-grant funded initiative at Northeastern University, to fund one writing fellowship for a scholar of religion to write for the Revealer on the topic(s) of their choosing. The recipient will receive a $2,000 stipend and have access to $1,000 to cover research expenses. Here is all the information you need:

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

Sacred Writes is now accepting applications for a funded media partnership with the Revealer. Applicants must have training in religious studies, theology, biblical studies, or a related field. This partnership is open to faculty, independent scholars, and graduate students. Priority deadline for applications is 31 January 2020.

SCOPE

The Revealer invites applications for one writing fellowship to produce three articles on topics related to religion in the scholar’s area of expertise. This fellowship is thematically open, provided the articles address religion, theology, or biblical studies. These three pieces may take the form of research essays, opinion pieces, or book/film/tv reviews. The Revealer prefers but does not require a variety of formats for these pieces.

Articles will be developed under the direction of Brett Krutzsch, Editor of the Revealer, and must be completed between April 2020 and March 2021. Production schedule will be set in consultation with the Editor and will account for the scholar’s pre-existing commitments. Together, Sacred Writes and the Revealer will provide a $2,000 stipend to the scholar selected for this partnership as well as up to $1,000 for research or publication related expenses, such as travel or commissions for original artwork, photography, or images.
