Write On, Door County is pleased to offer the Theodore B. Olson Memorial Fellowship to a writer whose work focuses on how equal protection under the law is an inherent, sacred right belonging to all of our citizens and must therefore be robustly protected and applied. For if any right or any protection is denied to any one of us, then it is at risk of being denied to any one or all of us.
Applications for the Theodore B. Olson Memorial Fellowship are accepted from writers--emerging to established--working in any genre, including journalism. The fellowship includes a two-week residence at Write On in late August/early September each year. For 2026, the dates are Sunday, August 30 through Sunday, September 13. The fellowship will provide a stipend of $700 along with funds to assist with travel and a grocery allowance.
The selected writer will participate in a public event to be arranged in consultation with Write On's Artistic Director during the time of the residency.
