I was lucky enough to be awarded an Authors’ Foundation Grant from the Society of Authors to help me complete my second Carcanet collection, The House of the Interpreter, during Covid lockdown at a time when freelance commissions dried up. I would recommend that writers apply as I was encouraged to do so. You never know! And also it helps you think hard about the purpose of your project and what you’re trying to achieve which is very good for self-direction. Good luck!
