The HW Fisher Novel-Writing Scholarship will award one talented writer of colour a free place on our three-month Writing Your Novel course with teaching in London.
This hugely popular
course features direct input from our literary agent team and top publishers. Teaching sessions and workshops will be led by critically acclaimed author Charlotte Mendelson. They will take place weekly on Tuesday evenings in the Curtis Brown offices located in central London (16 September 2025 to 5 January 2026).
This scholarship is funded by top London chartered accountancy firm HW Fisher. It is part of the Breakthrough Writers' Programme, an initiative designed to break down barriers to entry for under-represented writers. We are keen to promote diversity in our student groups and to find a writer through this programme who we might not otherwise have heard from.
If you have the desire to write, a great idea and a compelling voice, and if you’re without the financial means to attend a Curtis Brown Creative course, this scholarship opportunity is for you.
The scholarship is open to writers of colour over the age of 18 who fulfil our low-income eligibility criteria.
