The Amplify
Writing Fellowship
Deep research and writing have never been more important. We’re bringing together a small group of writers with technical backgrounds to explore specific thematic areas and publish their writing. The paid fellowship runs for 3 months and is a great fit for recent grad students, developers exploring their next thing, or seasoned technical writers.
ApplyIn pursuit of deep research and writing
We are launching a writing fellowship. It is for technical people – developers, researchers, scientists – who want to spend 2-3 months part time exploring and writing about an idea or topic space. You should apply to the fellowship if you:
- Have a technical background and enjoy writing in your free time
- Have a topic that interests you, and you want to research and publish about it more deeply
- Want to improve your writing practice in a structured environment with a dedicated editor (rumor is he’s very good)
- Are excited about the prospect of collaborating on research with the incredible teams Amplify works with like Runway, Modal, Chainguard, Temporal, Hex, and more.
Email Justin with any thoughts, questions, or concerns.

Applications for the current cohort are closed. Check back in a couple of months!
