The Center is on the look out for top-quality writing and aims to promote dynamic communication about literature and scholarship at the very highest level—within the Center, in public forums throughout the Library, and in the Fellows’ published work.

The Scholarship is open to people including academics, independent scholars, creative writers and visual artists at work on a book project  whose work will benefit directly from access to the collections at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building.
