Writers Fund — accelerator for writers
- $10,000
- Legal and publication expenses for when the writer decides to publish.
- Created 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?
It is an investment. We offer to the writer the choice of either a 15% royalty share or a 5% equity stake.
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 has invested $250k in the Writers Fund. Investments will be made from Writers Fund LTD.
