“As South Asia Speaks heads into its sixth year, we’re delighted to announce a new program: SAS Science. Modelled after our flagship mentorship, SAS Science is a year-long program designed to support emerging science writers with one-on-one mentoring, masterclasses and workshops. Fellows will be paired with an established author and receive mentorship for a full year. Like everything we do at SAS, this program is free. Our goal is to identify and support emerging writers in South Asia, make them globally competitive, and help them publish their first books.” Applications open March 1, 2026.
