Writers who have received their terminal degree in creative writing within the last five years have until November 1 to apply for an Axton Fellowship at the University of Louisville (Ky.). "The purpose of these fellowships is to provide recent graduates with time to further their own work, to associate them with a distinguished faculty, and to allow them to contribute to a vibrant creative writing community. This year one fellow in fiction will be appointed for the academic years 2010-2011 and 2011-2012, and will be awarded a stipend and benefits."

Another opportunity for fiction writers, also with a November 1 deadline, and also without an application fee: the Dzanc Prize. This award "provides monetary aid in the sum of $5,000, to a writer of literary fiction. All writers applying for the Dzanc Prize must have a work-in-progress they can submit for review, and present the judges with a Community Service Program they can facilitate somewhere in the United States. Such programs may include anything deemed "educational" in relation to writing. Examples would include: working with HIV patients to help them write their stories; doing a series of workshops at a drop-in youth homeless center; running writing programs in inner-city schools; or working with older citizens looking to write their memoirs. All community programs under the Dzanc Prize must run for a full year."

And still more from the fiction world: The Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award is a new prize administered by Booktrust (U.K.) Open to authors published in the U.K. or Ireland, it seeks an unpublished (or published after January 1, 2009) story and confers a first prize of £25,000 (£500 for each of the five runners-up). Deadline: November 30, 2009.
