Get that Grant! Writing A Grant Application That Shines

 

Need to take a research trip, work with a mentor, participate in a residency or dedicate a year to writing your manuscript? There’s a grant for that! Learn how to focus your project, find the right grant and compose a convincing application.

 

Literary Program Consultant Joanne Gerber will share insights gleaned from almost twenty years of overseeing grants programs for SK Arts, Access Copyright Foundation and Canada Council for the Arts. She will provide a quick tour of writing grant programs and explain key application terms and components. She’ll offer an insider’s glimpse of the assessment process, with advice on how to inspire reviewers to support your project through a compelling application.

 

A Q & A will follow the presentation.
