March 1: Balticon Poetry Contest
The Speculative Literature Foundation currently offers six grants:
A. C. Bose Grant
Older Writers Grant
Diverse Writers
Diverse Worlds Grants
Travel Grant
Working Class Writers GrantAll of our grants are free to apply, and are designed as ‘gateway’ grants, with easy and straightforward applications that should be quick to complete. We hope that they will both serve the community directly, and also encourage genre writers to explore the wide variety of grants, awards, and residencies available in the larger writing community.
