Guidelines of assistance

The Cheuse Center partners with organizations to provide temporary refuge, a safe place to work, and an audience for these writers. The writing center hosts artists at risk through a partnership with the International Cities of Refuge (ICORN). Applicants should first apply to ICORN.

Description

The Cheuse Center for International Writers at George Mason University was founded in 2016 with a two-fold mission: Support and help international writers and translators to gain a broader American audience; and provide young American writers travel fellowships in order to pursue international creative projects. The Cheuse Center hosts emerging and established international writers for fellowships and residencies, focusing on writers-at-risk.
