Encouragement Fund Fellowship
Deadline November 15 (must be received by this date). Recommended free contest from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators gives three $2,000 grants to traditionally published authors of children's books. To enter, email sponsor a 250-word bio, the name(s) and publisher(s) of your most recently published book(s), and a 250-word essay describing why you need a burst of encouragement to complete or begin a humor book, and how receiving the grant would support that.
