MCCOY GRANT APPLICATIONS CLOSE ON 3/21

Applications for the McCoy Grant for Bookseller Writers close next week, on March 21st.

This unique opportunity offers two grants of $1,500 each to be used toward craft development (writing classes, retreats, conferences, travel), work-related materials (notebooks, laptops, software, research, etc.), childcare, bills, or any other financial obstacle.

The McCoy Grant is sponsored by SIBA with the generous support of New York Times bestselling author Sarah McCoy, who knows how much even small stipends can make in a writer's life. "If you’re a hoper, a dreamer, a story stoker opening your laptop and a 99¢ can of tuna fish on the coffee table for dinner while you do the work that really lights your fire… then you’re a kindred spirit," says McCoy. "That was me, too. Still is on many nights. You are not alone."
