The Miles Morland Foundation is pleased to announce the 2018 Morland Writing Scholarships for African writers. The deadline for submissions is Sunday 30th September.
They continue to be impressed by the quality of writing they receive and are pleased to see entry numbers increase each year. Last year over 500 people applied, they hope to receive even more applications this year.
They look forward to discovering the winners for 2018.
Worth of Award
- Writers awarded a fiction scholarship will each receive £18,000, paid over the course of a year to allow them to take time off to write the book they have proposed.
- Non-fiction writers may be given £27,000 over the course of eighteen months, if they need to do additional research.
Eligibility
African writers
How to Apply
- No official application form
- Applications will be accepted between 30th June and 30th September 2018. We will acknowledge receipt but, unless we have a query, you won’t hear from us again unless you reach the shortlist. The awards will be announced in early December.
- Submit excerpts from your previously published work must be sent as a complete Word document. Anything sent not in Word, will not be accepted. If you want to accompany the Word document with a scan of your book or the magazine in which you were published to establish the published status of your work that can be helpful.
- Please tell them in a biography of 200 – 300 words something about yourself and your background. Please do not submit a job application type CV or résumé.
- If you have any questions please contact Mathilda Edwards [email protected]
Deadline: applications close Saturday 30th June
