Horswell Publishing Award

Horswell Publishing Award

The Goshen College English Department has several publication awards available through a gift from Sushil and Christine Horswell Jain of Windsor, Ontario. In honor of Christine’s parents, Mary and Dr. Richard Horswell of Elkhart, Indiana, the Horswell Fellowship and Horswell Anthology provide a unique opportunity for students to gain publishing and editing experience.

The Horswell Fellowship is awarded to an English major, after being selected from among applicants who explain their goal to gain publishing experience. To apply for the Horswell Fellowship, send a letter and resume to Jessica Baldanzi at jbaldanzi@goshen.edu. Applications are due at the end of the spring semester.

The Horswell Fellowship offers students a unique experience in all phases of publishing print work, from commissioning and editing to producing, marketing, and distributing. It’s a great way to get hands-on, resume-worthy experience in this field.

The Horswell Fellow is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of Pinchpenny Press and Broadside, publications of student and guest writing.

Under the supervision of a faculty sponsor, the Horswell Fellow will:

  • serve as executive secretary of the Broadside and Pinchpenny Press editorial boards
  • lay out, publish, and distribute Broadside poems
  • support student authors and editors in publishing their books
  • publicize the work of Pinchpenny Press and update the subscriber list
  • coordinate contests and readings sponsored by Broadside and Pinchpenny Press.
