About Logan Nonfiction Program

The Logan Nonfiction Program was founded in 2015 with generous support from Jonathan Logan, the President and CEO of the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation. Jon believes the need for powerful narrative that speaks truth to power has never been greater. We all rely on journalists and documentarians to filter misinformation, ensure transparency and provide us with accurate and unbiased content. Yet, these same journalists and filmmakers are required to work with fewer resources, tighter deadlines and more pressure than ever before.

Aim and Benefits of Hybrid Fellowship

Fellows can expect the in-person schedule to consist of: 

• Workshopping with expert mentors in the Carey Institute’s breakout meeting rooms. 
• Peer-to-peer feedback sessions on the 100-acre grounds. 
• Informal fireside chats with award-winning media makers in the campus’s historic homes. 
• Film screenings in the Institute’s auditorium. 
• Social activities in the Carriage House Restaurant on campus.
• Free time for hiking, solitude or silent work hours. 

Similarly

• Fellows receive their own rooms with ensuite bathrooms on campus and all meals are provided. 
• The virtual residency provides for additional workshopping with mentors, peer-to-peer feedback discussions, social events, focused coworking sessions, and both structured and informal conversations with journalism and nonfiction experts.  

Requirements for Hybrid Fellowship Qualification

The Logan Nonfiction Program accepts deeply reported nonfiction projects from: 

• Nonfiction writers and journalists. 
• Photojournalists. 
• Documentary filmmakers.
• Podcasters and radio reporters.
• Multimedia creators.

Applicants must be at work on a long-form project in order to apply (e.g.: an article, book, film, podcast, etc.). The project must be wholly nonfiction and rely on in-depth interviews and original research for sourcing. 

We are particularly interested in supporting projects that examine the most pressing issues of the day, including but not limited to: con?ict and security; democracy and governance; education; environment and climate change; food security; gender, race, sexual orientation, disability and intersectionality; globalization; health; inequality and exclusion; media and journalism; social justice; and sustainability and resilience. 

We encourage and accept applications from creators at all stages of work — from preparing an outline to completing a final draft or from storyboarding a narrative to wrapping up a final cut. Whatever stage of completion, we ask that fellows commit to a plan of action for what they hope to achieve during the program (with the understanding that the work plan may be revised following the commencement of the fellowship and first expert mentoring session.)
