The Royal Society of Literature is inviting applications for a new set of Awards in partnership with Sky Arts to celebrate and nurture British writers of colour at the beginnings of their careers.
Five Awards are available, providing each winner with ten free mentoring sessions over the course of 12 months with an RSL Fellow writing in their form, as well as two sessions with Awards Ambassador Bernardine Evaristo.
The five mentors are Tanika Gupta, Colin Grant, Irenosen Okojie, Pascale Petit and Roy Williams and they will be supporting emerging writers of non-fiction, screenwriting, fiction, poetry and playwriting.
Thanks to funding from Sky Arts, mentorships are fully funded.

The closing date for applications is Friday 30 April 2021.
