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 TWO writing fellowships for scholars of religion to write for the Revealer on the topic(s) of their choosing. Each fellow will receive a $2,000 stipend. Here is all the information you need:

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 July 15, 2021.

SCOPE

The Revealer invites applications for two writing fellowships. Each fellow will produce three articles on topics related to religion in the scholars’ areas 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 August 2021 and May 2022. Production schedule will be set in consultation with the Editor and will account for the scholars’ pre-existing commitments. Sacred Writes will compensate each selected scholar with a $2,000 stipend.

TO APPLY

Please submit the following materials through the online form.

Cover letter (1-2 pages) explaining your scholarly expertise and a pitch for at least one piece (including a proposed title) that draws on your scholarly expertise
