I’m keeping this one short! It’s been a busy month but I’m looking forward to sharing exciting news: I’m holding a virtual workshop all about applying to grants and residencies. It’ll be a good chance to connect and discuss best practices for applications.
Every month, I share links for creatives, and now it’s time to get into the nitty gritty. Looking to apply to more grants and residencies? Let’s chat!
I’m hosting a one-night, virtual talk where I share my main tips for applying to grants and residencies. It’ll be about an hour, laidback and open to all your questions.
What we’ll cover:
Examples of my past applications, so you can see real-life material
Tips for crafting an application that captures your specific project/passions
How to create a structure for accountability so you can get your application in!
A Q&A session open to any questions you have (no question too big or small)
Just this year, I completed a residency at Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts and, before that, I’ve participated in writing workshops such as the Kenyon Review Writers Week, Tin House and Idyllwild Writers Week. I’m also a recipient of a Barbara Deming Memorial Fund grant for my non-fiction manuscript.
I’d love to see you at this virtual chat taking place Thursday, September 19. Suggested donation is $10, though no one will be turned away if that cost is prohibitive.
REPLY to this email with your RSVP and I’ll get you all the details.
Talk soon! And keep scrolling for this month’s opportunities for creatives.
