They are keen for more individual artists to apply and be funded and have made changes to the grant to support this happening.

If you are not familiar with applying for grant funding, filling out an application form can be a daunting and baffling process.

Ruth Harrison and Eva Lewin from Spread the Word will be running a free zoom workshop for London-based writers 6pm-8.30pm on Wednesday 12 August 2020.

We will talk you through the changes to the fund and the different questions in the Project Grants form to help you think about what you will need to have in place for Project Grants funding.

Once you have attended the workshop, you can send your draft application to Spread the Word for 30 minutes phone feedback.

This workshop is designed to support:
Individual writers or a writer representative from, for example, a writers’ collective who want to pursue a joint project;
Writers of any literary form including playwriting and graphic novels;
Writers who are considering applying for a Project Grant for the first time or who may have applied in the past but been unsuccessful;
Disabled writers and writers of colour are particularly encouraged to apply.

The workshop is FREE but places are limited.

Apply by midnight, Sunday 2 August 2020.
