As a freelancer & indie author, it\u2019s about that time of year to start thinking about writing grants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve applied a number of times. The only grant I\u2019ve ever received was the HWA Scholarship in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That doesn\u2019t stop me from applying – and you should too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my own selfish purposes, I\u2019m gathering info on 2024 grant deadlines, and thought I\u2019d share them here, in case you\u2019re in the same boat. Obviously, I\u2019m only including ones that apply to my situation, but hey! If you know of a grant and want me to add it to my list, let me know and I\u2019ll gather the info!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: Most of the 2024 deadlines aren\u2019t available yet, so I\u2019ll update when they are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
