The Granum Foundation is delighted to announce applications for the Granum Foundation Prize and the Granum Foundation Translation Prize to help U.S.-based writers complete substantive literary projects, including novels, memoirs, books of poetry, short story collections, and works in translation.
Donor Name: Granum Foundation
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Prize
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 08/02/2022
Grant Size: $5,000
Details:
The Granum Foundation 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, and memoirs—or to help launch these works.
Additionally, the Granum Foundation Translation Prize will be awarded to support the completion of a work translated by a U.S.-based writer.
Funding from both prizes 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, or editing services. They also may be used for necessities such as books 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. They welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
