The 2015 Literature Wales Bursaries are available to new and published writers resident in Wales. Applicants may apply for a New / Emerging Writer’s Bursary; a Published Writer’s Bursary; or a Support Fund Bursary (if eligible). Support Fund Bursaries are available for writers with mobility problems or disabilities in need of specialist equipment and assistance.
Literature Wales is pleased to announce that Writers’ Bursaries and the Mentoring Scheme are now supported by The National Lottery through the Arts Council of Wales.
Writers’ Bursaries are awarded to support writers creating new work in the following genres: novels, short stories, graphic novels, poetry, children’s literature, teenage fiction, literary criticism, biography/autobiography and creative non-fiction.
Applicants should apply for one of the fixed-sum Writers’ Bursaries, and will need to demonstrate why that particular sum is required to complete the work in progress. Minimum Award: £1,000, maximum Award £10.000. Applicants may apply for £1,000, £2,000, £5,000 or £10,000. Support fund Bursaries are fixed-sum Bursaries of £1,000 or £2,000.
Applicants must be resident in Wales throughout the year.
Literature Wales’ Mentoring Service for Writers offers support and practical advice to writers, to develop specific work in progress to a publishable standard. Writers may ask for assistance to develop a specific piece of work-in-progress, in which a publisher has already expressed a firm interest. Support will be provided in the form of a number of face-to-face sessions with an established writer from the same genre.
Make a note of the closing date for 2015 applications for Bursaries and Mentoring: 5.00 pm, Friday 24 October 2014.
