The Royal Literary Fund (RLF) is a benevolent fund for assisting professional published authors and for the advancement of public education. In 1999 it launched a Fellowship scheme that places writers of established literary merit in universities and colleges to offer writing support to students in all disciplines.

Typically a Fellowship lasts for one year, and the Fellow is available on a one-to-one basis to students for two days a week. The rest of the week is free for the Fellow to concentrate on her or his own writing. Find out further information about the Fellows, the Fellowship, and how to apply.
