Description
Open to all who have a literary project in mind.
Limited to 15 participants.
This series of three workshops will examine how writers with projects for print, spoken word, or storytelling can make a strong literary arts grant application. From drafting a project description to balancing a budget, we will also discuss artistic risk, impact, and cultural appropriation. Focus will be on funding programs at the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. A program officer will also join us to answer questions. This series is intended for Quebec- based writers at all stages of their practice: emerging, mid-career, or established. There will be tasks to complete between sessions and participants should have a clear, original literary arts project in mind.
Access to MS Word or similar writing software will be necessary as well as a willingness to share work and give and receive feedback in a workshop setting.
To complete your registration (after using the link below), please send a short, one-sentence description of your current literary arts project to workshops@qwf.org. The subject line should read “For Tawhida Tanya Evanson.”
Important Note: At this time, our intention is to hold this workshop at the QWF office, with two virtual slots available for QWF members residing outside Montreal but within Quebec. The Atwater Library, which houses the QWF office, requires all visitors to be fully vaccinated and masked at all times. If you live outside Montreal but within Quebec and would like to attend virtually, please write to us first at workshops@qwf.org. Plans can change based on the latest public health guidelines. Please note our virtual slots are currently limited as we are still piloting our new teleconferencing equipment for workshops, and we hope to offer more virtual slots in the fall.
