This is the second year we're offering two $500 grants to applicants who are at least 50 years of age and just starting to work at a professional level as a speculative fiction writer.
We have only 18 applications right now, but we'd like to see more, so send us your best work! And remember, your writing samples can be previously published.
Please make sure you submit your applications according to the guidelines on the webpage for the Older Writers Grant, which can be found here: http://speculativeliterature.org/grants/slf-older-writers-grant/
If you have any questions about the Older Writers Grant, or any of our grants, please feel free to email our Managing Director, Malon Edwards, at: managing_dir@speclit.org.
Happy submitting!
Only one week left? http://speculativeliterature.org/grants/slf-older-writers-grant/ seems to say that applicants can submit applications till March 31st, which is 5 weeks from now.
Heh. I edited to fix already, but thanks for the catch! We were getting it confused with the class grant, which closes in a week.
