Author, editor, and all round impressive person L. D. Lewis has used the advance she received for her first novel to fund the Watermelon Grant for emerging Palestinian creators.

If you want to support Palestinian creatives, you can donate matching funds. (When that goal is met, there will be two grants awarded in 2025.)

If you are a Palestinian creative working in speculative poetry or prose, applications open September 17.
