The Beverly Rogers, Carol C. Harter Black Mountain Institute hosts residential fellowships every academic year.
Visiting fellows join a community of writers and scholars in a thriving literary scene in Las Vegas and on the campus of University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV); they are supported by individuals and groups that share the commitment to bringing writers and the literary imagination into the heart of public life.
While there are no formal teaching requirements, this is a “working fellowship” located in Las Vegas. BMI’s visiting fellows will maintain an in-office presence of 10 hours a week, along with 10 hours of service to the community. In addition to the primary goal of furthering one’s own writing during their term in Las Vegas, visiting fellows are expected to engage in a substantial way with BMI’s community, in ways that connect to their interests and skills. Upon acceptance into the programme, each fellow will craft a plan in partnership with BMI.
