This three-week in-person strategy- and information-packed workshop is open to writers of any genre who are planning to apply for a literary grant, fellowship, scholarship, or any national or international writers' residency opportunity in 2025 or 2026. This workshop will cover:
• The dreaded Project Statement, Work Plan, or Goals and Objectives question
• How to demonstrate a rising trajectory (remembering that most people who are awarded grants are on
their way up, not already there)
• Using headings and "buckets" to make your statement navigable
• How to craft clear, concise personal or "artist" statements that do not ramble (leave this class with a
completed first draft in hand!)
• Why the marketing angle is so important
Students should be computer savvy and must bring a laptop, iPad, or tablet computer. Come prepared to engage in a range of hands-on activities. Enrollment is limited. Book your seat.
