Customer Reviews

VERY INFORMATIVE

A bit outdated but full of very useful information, including writing contests, govt grants, overseas residencies, writers colonies and a few other programs. I found 6-12 very good items in this book and there were a choice of about 300 (i.e. about half are for magazine contests).

Very thorough...

What can I say about this book that hasn't already been said? It's an invaluable resource for both published and non-published writers alike. The only complaint I have is that I would have liked to have seen a CN designation for "Creative Non-Fiction."

A truly great resource

I bought this book a few weeks ago from the Pen American Center. I've found over 100 sources of funding that I qualify for right now and about 50 more that I qualify for later. I am really loving this book. It is designed in such a way that it's easy to scan all listings for ones that apply to you and easy to search for specific ones as well. In the back everything is indexed several ways, making things even easier to find.The information they provide you with is comprehensive and extensive. Kudos to the editor and researcher!If you're a writer, be it fiction, plays, journalistic, non-fiction, whatever, this book is a great resource for you.

A true necessity for writers!

This book is invaluable. It provides contact information for countless sources of funding, it's easy to use, and the range of grants and awards is astounding. Writers of every discipline, and from every step of their career, I think, will find something suited to their needs.

Worth every penny!

This book offers clear, concise information on the grants, fellowships, and contests that are available to writers. They have most of the listings marked with a letter code, such as J for Journalists, which makes skipping inappropriate entries a lot faster!
