Class Description
In this two-hour workshop, PVWW Founder / Director Joy Baglio will share what she has learned about applying to (and winning) various opportunities that exist for writers, such as project-specific grants (that offer funding and require a proposal letter), artist residencies (that offer time, space, and often funding), scholarships (that offer attendance to a program or conference), and many other competitive opportunities. We'll talk about the difference between proposal letters and artist statements and what should be present in each; how to select strong work samples; how to create an impressive budget (which some specific grant applications require), and Joy will share examples from her own artist statements, proposal letters, and budgets. We'll also spend some time working on crafting artist statements as well - the core kernel of which can be used across many different kinds of applications - and will share these for in-class feedback. Come with questions related to these topics, as there will be time for Q&A! Class size: 20 spots. JOY BAGLIO is the founder / director of Pioneer Valley Writers' Workshop, a former literary magazine editor, and widely-published writer of short fiction, with stories in such journals as One Story, Ploughshares, The Missouri Review, Tin House, American Short Fiction, Conjunctions, The Iowa Review, SmokeLong Quarterly, Fairy Tale Review, and elsewhere.
