I don’t mind getting rejections for my work, but sometimes when I get a personalized rejection, I am baffled. One story about a magic item was declared “not speculative” (do magical devices exist in that reader’s world?), that hillbilly English is jarring, & that humour doesn’t go with stories about angels and gods (I guess they don’t like Good Omens). Not my target readers, but it rankles that these are the folks gatekeeping grant money. #WritingLife #WritingGrants #WritingCommunity

It's been fascinating learning from author Amra Pajalic as to how she's used writing and small business grants to propel her writing career in both fiction and non-fiction. It's also been fun diving into her creative works - love the anthologies she's been a part of too.

Has anyone else had literary/creative/small biz success by pursuing grants? would be great to hear from you.

Grants for Australian Writers for Writing and Creative Projects, Book Marketing & Author Business

Writing grant applications is something I’ve done freelance for business clients, but I’ve never thought of applying for a grant for my own writing or author business. What about you?
