Partially Funded Writing Scholarship from Curtis Brown Creative

Curtis Brown Creative (CBC) is honored to announce the first scholarship in memory of the late John le Carré for one talented writer with low income to join the Writing Your Novel course. This three-month online course is designed to enable people to take part from anywhere in the world, in any time zone, and at hours of the day or night that work best for the individual participant. 

This scholarship is part of The Breakthrough Writers’ Programme, a major new outreach program that offers opportunities to under-represented writers. If you have the desire to write, a great idea, and the ambition to want to raise your writing game, and if you’re without the financial means to attend a Curtis Brown Creative course, this opportunity is for you.

If you get this scholarship, you will have:

•  Full course fee for three-month (6 September 2021 to 13 December 2021).

You must follow the following criteria:

1. You must be over the age of 18.
2. Either:

• Unmarried and not cohabiting with a partner, with an annual (gross, pre-tax) income of less than £25,000 and personal savings of less than £5,000.
• Married or co-habiting with a partner, with a total annual (gross pre-tax) household income of less than £35,000 and personal savings (jointly or individually) of less than £5,000.

Please note:

• If you don’t quite fit the financial criteria for this scholarship but are nonetheless financially challenged, then do apply, explaining your circumstances in the form.
• Applicants may be asked to provide proof of their financial circumstances in support of their scholarship applications.

Selection Process:

Your work will be selected based on many of the qualities:

• Compelling storytelling.
• Political engagement.
• The Potential.
• An exciting voice that pushes at or breaks boundaries.
