Description:

Whether you've already written your masterpiece and feel it's award worthy or you just can't seem to find the time or place to get those words on paper, Diane Billot's Money for Writers is invaluable. Billot lists hundreds of writing grants, contests, prizes, and such, from the Senior Poet Laureate Competition's $50 prize (plus publication and chapbook) for a U.S. poet over the age of 50 to the $250,000 awards in Health Policy Research. In addition to the more commonplace categories, there is money to be had for writing about cats ($500) and dogs (two awards, one for $500, the other for $2,450), biblical position papers on current world issues ($10,000), and stories about bowling ($3,800). Many of the prizes are regional--there are at least 10 prizes for Texans alone. Billot also includes sections on Internet sites, conferences, organizations, and books for writers. --Jane Steinberg
