The NZSA is calling for applications for two of the literary community’s most popular grants – The Janet Frame Memorial Award and The Beatson Fellowship.
The
former biannual award is for $3,000
and
is offered by the NZSA from a bequest generously provided by The Janet Frame
Literary Trust to support a mid-career or established author to further their
literary career. It is open to authors of poetry, literary or
imaginative fiction and who are members of the New Zealand Society of Authors. In 2010 the
award went to Wellington
Deadline: 31 October 2012
The Beatson Fellowship is an annual Fellowship
generously donated by Peter and Dianne Beatson and provides the successful
applicant with $7,000 and the choice of a one month residency in their holiday
house at Foxton Beach
Last year’s recipient Catherine Chidgey had this to say:
“The Beatson Fellowship allowed me the
freedom to focus on my novel without the usual worry and distraction of making
ends meet, and the validation of my work-in-progress gave me a great boost of
confidence. I am tremendously grateful to the Beatsons for their generosity and
support."
The award is open to writers of fiction, poetry
and drama who are members of the New Zealand Society of Authors. Deadline: 30 September
