African Liberty is inviting applications from suitably qualified candidates to its writing fellowship programme. The African Liberty Writing Fellowship is a year-long virtual programme designed to train young Africans interested in academia, media, public policy, or any other critical-and-analytical-writing-related career, in opinion article writing.
Accepted applicants will complete a five-week mandatory online course. The top thirty-five candidates from the five-week training will be admitted as African Liberty writing fellows. African Liberty has helped fellows get featured in leading African and non-Africa media outlets.
The programme is a paid fellowship and compensation is contingent upon a monthly assessment.
