Amazon Literary Partnership Announces More than $1M in 2019 Grants - Publishering Perspectives

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when his sensitive kitty ears were assailed by clapping and cheering. Following all the hullabaloo took our kitty boy to the Publishing Perspectives site. With no digging at all he found a post about the Amazon Literary Partnership.

According to the post by Publishing Perspectives editor Porter Anderson, the Amazon Literary Partnership has awarded $1M in grant funding to the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), the Port Townsend Writers Conference (Centrum), Clarion West and 63 other literary nonprofit organizations. The Amazon Literary Partnership is ten years old and gives the grants annually. A complete list of all the nonprofit recipients is included in the post. Also included are links to other posts with information about the grants.

After all this work I deserve a nap too.

Panzer says, "MeWoW! NaNoWriMo!"

Note: This is a h-u-g-e post. Bring a gallon of tea and a dozen muffins for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the included links, bring another gallon of tea, another dozen muffins and a sleeping bag for a cat nap in the middle.

Worldbuilding in Seattle - Not A Blog

Today, Panzer made a short trip into the Catosphere to George R. R. Martin's Not A Blog site. With no digging at all our traveling kitty pilot found a post about George R. R. Martin's new scholarship.

I like fantasy ... Maybe I can go.

According to George R. R. Martin's post, he's starting a new scholarship. The Worldbuilder Scholarship will be for science fiction and fantasy writers to be able to attend the Clarion West Writing Workshop. The scholarship is for one writer and is to be used for tuition, fees and lodging at the workshop. The application deadline is March 1. The post says this is an annual scholarship. There's a link included in the post to the Clarion West site.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Know any science fiction or fantasy writers who want to attend the Clarion West Workshop?"

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.
