South Arts, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, is pleased
to offer writer fee support grants for literary
presentations. These grants support literary arts presenting
organizations for engagements by guest writers (fiction, creative nonfiction,
poetry) from outside the presenter’s state. Colleges, universities and
other school-based presenters are eligible to apply and grant funds can
be used to support fees for multiple writers. To be eligible, literary
projects must include a public reading and an educational component. <br>
<br>
Applications must be submitted by <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Monday,
May 17, 2010 </span></strong>for projects taking place between July 1, 2010
and June 30, 2011. The maximum request is 50% of the writer’s fee, up to a
total grant request of $2,500. Only nonprofit and governmental presenting
organizations in South Arts' nine-state region are eligible to
apply. South Arts' nine-state region includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Tennessee.<br>
<br>
The guidelines, review criteria, and application instructions are
available on our <a
