The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation selected Iversen as part of its 101st class of fellows, announced April 14. The foundation recognized her in the biography category for both her past achievements and the promise of future work.
“At this point in my career, the Guggenheim Fellowship feels like a pinnacle — a profound honor and a high point in a life devoted to writing,” Iversen said.
Iversen joins 222 other fellows chosen through a competitive process from nearly 5,000 applicants. The fellowship provides funding to support independent creative and scholarly work.
“To receive this recognition is deeply meaningful: it honors the work I have already published, but it also strengthens my commitment to the work still ahead.”
