We are proud to announce the writers who have been selected for the 2021 Bitch Media Fellowships for Writers. Now in its sixth year, the program received more than 2,600 applications from emerging writers all over the globe.

Every year, the process of winnowing those applications down to just four fellows gets more and more difficult, and we want to thank everyone who applied. Without further ado, the Bitch Media Writing Fellows for 2021:

Oliver Haug
Berkeley, California
Sexual Politics

Jenna Mahale
London, United Kingdom
Technology

Amanda Gokee
Vermont
Global Feminism

Jennifer Chang
New York, New York
Pop-Culture Criticism

Huge and heartfelt congratulations to our fellows! You’ll be learning more about them in the coming months, and we hope that you’ll follow their writing in Bitch magazine and online.

We want to thank everyone who applied for the fellowships. The sheer number of qualified people who took the time to put together applications is a testament to the desire for smart, timely, and feminist takes on the issues and culture that informs our lives. And it shows that the investment we’re making together, as Bitch’s Media’s community, to nurture those writers is vital and necessary.

Feminism forever,

Andi Zeisler
Cofounder and Fellowship Director

P.S. We strongly believe that the world needs more opportunities for writers to experience paid, supported, feminist writing fellowships, and we work hard to make the Bitch Media Fellowships for Writers as accessible as possible by not requiring application fees or formal letters of recommendation. If you believe in the value of our program, you can support it directly by making a tax-deductible donation today.

Bitch Media is an award-winning, nonprofit, feminist media outlet. We're community funded because we believe that there's no for-profit way to make truly independent, intersectional feminist media. If our work has to compete with a self-interested advertiser or a major investor, it's never going to be the kind of world-changing, movement-making, uncompromising work that needs to be done. It'll just be another contract negotiated in a patriarchal world. You like our attitude? Us too.
