Together with the Talve-Goodman family, One Story is pleased to announce our 2026 Adina Talve-Goodman Fellow: A. Artemis Chen.
A. Artemis Chen (she/her) comes from multiple diasporas, but now lives in the Pacific Northwest with her partner and two cats. She is a graduate of the Clarion Writers’ Workshop and her short fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in khōréō, If There’s Anyone Left, and more. In short fiction, she’s interested in writing about complex PTSD, diaspora, and cultural decolonization. She is also working on a speculative novel in which a family line migrates across oceans and into deep space.
The Adina Talve-Goodman Fellowship was created in memory of One Story’s former managing editor, the writer Adina Talve-Goodman. This fellowship offers a year-long mentorship on the craft of fiction writing with One Story magazine and is given to an emerging writer whose work speaks to issues and experiences related to inhabiting bodies of difference. This means writing that centers, celebrates, or reclaims being marginalized through the lens of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, religion, illness, disability, trauma, migration, displacement, dispossession, or imprisonment. Previous winners of the Adina Talve-Goodman fellowship include Hayden May Knight, Keith Hood, Nathan Xie, Ani Cooney, Diana Veiga, Arvin Ramgoolam and Nay Saysourinho.
Finalists for the Adina Talve-Goodman fellowship will all receive two free online courses with One Story. Finalists for the 2026 Fellowship were:
- Vaneeza Sohail
- Alex Talgar
- Chris Wu
- Anita Vijayakumar
One Story is grateful to the Talve-Goodman Family, our volunteer readers, all of the friends and organizations who helped spread the word about this fellowship, and the many talented writers who took the leap and shared their work with us. Applications for our 2027 Fellowship will open in Fall 2026.
