Charles Frazier Writer "I am currently wrapping up a long first novel Cold Mountain. I plan to begin working on another book and would use the fellowship to provide the time and resources I need to do a complete job of background research and to begin writing. The N.C. Arts Council fellowship would be enormously helpful in allowing me to do the new work much more thoroughly and efficiently and in a more timely manner." Charles Frazier has a Ph.D. in American Literature from the University of South Carolina, an M.A. in English from Appalachian State University and a B.A. in English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Mr. Frazier is self-employed as a writer and operator of Pinecroft Ponies, a breeding and training farm for Welsh and Connemara ponies. He lives in Raleigh, NC. Postscript: Because of the tremendous success of his first novel -- over 1,000,000 copies had sold as of December and movie rights were bought by United Artists -- Mr. Frazier has decided to designate his fellowship award to benefit other writers in North Carolina.
