Don’t Delay! Time is Running Out to Apply for 2023 NM Writers Grants!
If you need financial assistance for a current project, New Mexico Writers may be able to help. Our annual grant program supports New Mexico authors in a variety of literary endeavors. The grants fund new works or works in progress by New Mexico writers and members of the greater Navajo Nation in the following genres: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, journalism, playwriting, and screenwriting. Grants are awarded at the New Mexico Writers annual dinner, where grantees are honored as special guests.
Writers can apply for a grant for ONE genre in ONE of these categories:
New Mexico Writers Annual Grant: New Mexico Writers signature grant supports writing, publishing, and other activities related to the creation of new works or works in progress. Grants typically range from $500 to $2,000.
Douglas Preston Travel Grant: This special annual $1,000 grant, funded by best-selling author and Santa Fe resident Douglas Preston, specifically supports an author’s travel needs in the service of a writing project.
Applicants for either grant may request funding to support their work as needed, including attendance at a writing-related workshop, conference, or mentorship program; research-related travel costs; or enabling time away from employment to work on a project. Award recipients are required to submit a report to New Mexico Writers detailing how the grant was used and how their work benefited from the funding.
Grant applications are due via online submission only at nmwriters.org no later than February 28, 2023.
Awardees will be notified by March 15, 2023.
