Funding Your Writing Project

Not enough writers know about the funding opportunities available to help support their writing projects, or how on earth to write an excellent grant application.

This panel of grant recipients and arts workers will share their insider tips and tricks on writing a stellar grant application, creating a realistic budget, and what sort of opportunities are out there to help pay for your time to write. Whether you dread the idea of writing another damn application or have never considered doing so before, you’re bound to learn something new from this session.

Hosted by Ellena Savage
