“Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.”
—Erica Jong
The Granum Foundation Fellowship Prize will be awarded annually to help U.S.-based writers complete substantive literary works—such as poetry books, essay or short story collections, novels, memoirs, and translations—or to help launch these works.
Funding can be used to provide a writer with the tools, time, and freedom to help ensure their success. For example, resources may be used to cover fees for a writing residency, mentorship, editing services, or a book tour. They also may be used for necessities such as rent or writing equipment.
Competitive applicants will be able to present a compelling project with a reasonable timeline for completion. They also should be able to demonstrate a record of commitment to the literary arts.
The Granum Foundation is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
Prize: $5,000 awarded annually.
Up to three finalists may be awarded $500.
Applications will close on August 3, 2021, 11:59 pm Pacific Time.
A winner and finalists will be announced on November 9, 2021.
At this time, only U.S. residents 18+ are eligible for funding.
