Leave a comment

Application Deadline: Friday 20th September, 2024

LOCATION: England

The Miles Morland Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2024 Morland Writing Scholarships for African writers will open for entries on Monday 1st July. The deadline for submissions is Friday 20th September. The Foundation’s main aim is to support entities in Africa which allow Africans to get their voices better heard. It is particularly interested in supporting African writing and African literature.

ELIGIBILITY:

The Foundation runs a yearly African writing scholarship scheme, see our MMF Writing Scholarships page, which aims to give writers of both fiction and non-fiction the financial freedom to complete an English-language book. Details of the scheme and how to apply for it can be found in the relevant section of this website.

The Foundation has also supported several human rights organisations, an array of London theatres, Oxford University women’s lightweight rowing, projects in Haiti and Palestine, a literacy initiative in London’s Shoreditch, plus several schemes which help recovering addicts and detained prisoners in the UK.

They will be asked to submit by email at least 10,000 new words every month until they have finished their book, or their Scholarship term has ended. If the first draft of the book is completed before the year is up, payments will continue while the Scholar edits and refines their work.

BENEFIT:

The winners each receive a grant of ₤18,000 to allow them to take a year off to write a book. The awards are based on submissions which include a book proposal and an excerpt of published writing.
