ANNUAL GRANT PROGRAM
The New Mexico Writers annual grant program is intended to support New Mexico authors in a variety of literary endeavors. The program features a competition for funding new works or works in progress by writers from all populations and geographic areas of New Mexico, including lesser-served communities.
 
Grants are awarded at the New Mexico Writers annual dinner, where grantees are honored as special guests. The 2021 annual dinner is scheduled to be held on June 10, 2021, at La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe. (Date is subject to change depending on COVID-19 restrictions in place at that time).
 
WHO SHOULD APPLY
All New Mexico writers are invited to apply for funding to support projects in ONE of any of the following genres: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, journalism, playwriting, and screenwriting.
 
ELIGIBLE AWARD FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Grant recipients are eligible to apply for grants in one of two categories:
 
New Mexico Writers Annual Grant: New Mexico Writers signature grant supporting writing, research, publishing and other activities pertaining to the creation of new works or works in progress. Grants typically range from $500 to $2,000.
 
Douglas Preston Travel Grant: This special annual $1,000 grant, funded by best-selling author and Santa Fe resident Douglas Preston and matching donations, specifically supports an author’s travel needs in the service of a writing project.
 
Applicants for either grant may request funding to support their work as needed, including attendance at a writing-related workshop, conference, or mentorship program; research-related travel costs; or enabling time away from employment to work on a project.  
 
Award recipients are required to submit a report to New Mexico Writers detailing how the grant was used and how their work benefited from the funding.
 
DEADLINE TO APPLY
Grant applications are due via online submission no later than March 31, 2021. Awardees will be notified by no later than May 15, 2021.
