This strategy- and information-packed workshop is open to writers of any genre who are planning to apply for a literary grant, fellowship, scholarship, or any national or international writers' residency opportunity in 2025 or 2026.
This workshop will cover:
- The dreaded Project Statement, Work Plan, or Goals and Objectives question
- How to demonstrate a rising trajectory (remembering that most people who are awarded grants are on their way up, not already there)
- Using headings and "buckets" to make your statement navigable
- How to craft clear, concise personal or "artist" statements that do not ramble (leave this class with a completed first draft in hand!)
- Why the marketing angle is so important
Students should be computer savvy and prepared to engage in a range of hands-on activities. Learn more at https://midnight-indigo.com/collections/writing-classes-for-black-writers/products/applying-for-grants-residencies
