“ I am beyond excited to be awarded the Kay Mellor Fellowship for 2025. Kay was a real staple in my household when I was growing up and I would love to help more people feel seen through my writing in the same way she did. With the support of this Fellowship, I hope to challenge myself and explore how to tell the diverse personal stories I love on a larger scale. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of a legacy that includes previous Fellows Kat Rose-Martin and Kirsty Taylor. I hope to continue in their footsteps and tell stories that make Yorkshire proud. ”

“ What an honour it is to be running the third Kay Mellor fellowship alongside Amy Leach at Leeds Playhouse, Alice Ramsay at the BBC and Leeds City Council. My mum would be so proud that we are carrying on her legacy of handing down the ladder to emerging writers and helping them to develop and craft their talent. We’re really excited to be working with Jasmin Mandi-Ghomi, our 2025 fellow, and welcoming her into our Rollem family. Jasmin sent in a fantastic script and is brimming with passion and ideas. ”
