A non-profit 501(c)(3) independent organization since 1991, Friends of Writers provides scholarships to MFA students and fellowships to MFA grads.
In addition to this, FOW provides scholarships and financial support to an annual conference of alumni from the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. Friends of Writers has supported the production of five writing anthologies, whose editors and contributors donated 100% of each book’s advance and royalties to Friends of Writers’ scholarship funds.
