We discuss why choosing the co-authorship route for a second or third project might be helpful in making progress when you have other simultaneous writing projects, and the kind of encouragement you can only get from someone else who is working on the same project.

We're speaking with Claudia Rizzini of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University about the institute's fellowships. We speak about what they're looking for in potential fellows, who does the selecting, what stage the proposed project should be, and where applicants make mistakes in their applications. We also talk about what the institute requires of its fellows, in terms of residence and attendance at events, as well as the freedoms of this particular fellowship, and how applicants can best make the case for themselves.
