You’ve invested time in learning about your craft and the path to publication, but have you explored getting support for your writing through grants, fellowships, and residencies? In this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of preparing strong applications that convey your commitment to your craft and illuminate your work—its importance, as well as its potential. This two-session class will include:

Evaluating opportunities (including financial aspects and the potential impact on your writing career)
Understanding what the reviewers might be looking for
Writing applications and artist statements
Tips for staying organized and managing logistics
Managing emotional aspects of the application process (and maybe even finding joy in it)
Seeing applications as tools to better understand and describe your own work

This class is for writers at different stages of their careers (from beginners to advanced) who want to be ready to apply for support for their writing.
