Literature Alliance Scotland: Writer bursaries for work-in-progress
Deadline: Fri 25 Jul 2025
Literature Alliance Scotland is Scotland's largest network of literature organisations. We are excited to offer direct support to five established writers currently resident in Scotland. We have funds to award 5 x £3,000 bursaries for work-in-progress.
To meet our eligibility criteria for these bursaries you must be:
Aged 18+
Currently resident in Scotland
Not in higher/further education
Have published at least one full-length work with a UK publisher in the same genre/market category as your work-in-progress
Have a work-in-progress underway
Your work-in-progress must be:
A novel, graphic novel, full-length work of non-fiction, short-story collection or poetry collection, for adults or children (pamphlets, chapbooks and picture books are not eligible).
Intended for publication into the trade — i.e. for a broad readership (not academic, not educational or other specialist) and distributed primarily through bookstores, online retailers and libraries.
Intended for publication with a UK publisher (not self-published).
Written primarily in English and/or Scots.
Either under contract with a UK publisher with an advance against royalties of no less than £1,000 and no more than £15,000 OR not under contract, but you have previously received an advance at this level from a UK publisher for a comparable work.
Free to enter.
See the LAS website for FAQs and link to apply.
Deadline: 5pm on Friday 25 July 2025
