Writers Fund — accelerator for writers
- $10,000 investment per selected writer
- Additional support for legal and publication expenses when ready to publish
- Founded by Christos Alexiou
- Applications are always open
Can anyone apply?
Yes – no credentials required.
What type of writing or project qualifies?
Anything that focuses on producing long-format writing content that can be traditionally or digitally published. It can be comics, novels, historical or literary fiction and everything else in-between.
Wait, is this a grant or an investment?
This is an investment, not a grant. In exchange for the $10,000 funding, we offer writers the choice of either:
- 15% revenue share from all future book sales and related income, or
- 5% equity stake in the writer's publishing business or intellectual property rights
This constitutes a securities offering. Investment terms are subject to final legal documentation. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
How will you select the winners?
We're looking for smart and energetic people with fun and interesting ideas. Drafts are a big plus; not just because they're great to read through, but because they hint at the type of person that cares about the reader's experience, which is ultimately all that matters.
Can I apply if I've raised money already for my book through crowdfunding?
Yes.
Who is funding this?
Christos Alexiou has committed $250,000 to the Writers Fund. All investments are made through Writers Fund LTD, a legally established investment entity.
I love this idea and I want to help! Can I provide additional funding, connections, mentorship, legal counsel, or help reviewing applications?
