UncategorizedIn an effort to make my life more organized (or organized at all), I am going to attempt to post on a schedule. For now, I’ll try to post blogs, news, etc every Monday and post book reviews on Wednesdays. Here’s hoping!
For today’s news, I received the following information from Hope Clark’s Funds For Writers. If you haven’t signed up to receive free copies of Hope’s newsletters, you’re missing out on an important guide to current markets, supporters, and more. A tip on this particular gem: the deadline may be soon. Don’t delay if you’re interested.
Arts Presenters will fund individual travel subsidies and
group travel subsidies. The maximum amount awarded per
individual organization, inclusive of travel costs and per
diem, is $2,000. Group travel subsidies will be awarded only
to groups of three or more presenters from different member
presenting organizations. The maximum award for a group is
$10,000, with no more than $2,000 awarded per organization.
In promoting cross-cultural arts programming, Arts Presenters
strongly encourages travel to the following locations,
including but not limited to: the Middle East, Asia, Latin
America and Africa.Arts Presenters will award travel subsidies
to individual presenters, presenting organizations and to
groups of presenters traveling to see the work of artists,
companies and/or to develop and advance projects with
international artists and their collaborators. All applicants

Thanks for the helpful and informative links, Victoria.
Btw, there is an award for you on my blog.
Glad you liked and hope they're helpful!
Victoria,
Thanks for the comment on my post at Necessary Writers. I responded back on her site :-). Nice to 'meet' you.
Hi, Melissa! Thanks for popping over.
Contests look great. And I'm with you about trying to become more organized. It is my *next* year's resolution. Although I should probably start trying now.
The contest looks great. I like that it's open internationally.
Hi, Lynda. Thanks for the follow! The contest makes me wish I hadn't already submitted to them, although I suppose there's no reason why I couldn't try again. ;D
Hi, Thersa, thanks for dropping in! I've been inching toward greater organization for over a year now. Honestly, probably since we became parents. It's amazing how adding another person to your existence changes everything.
I do receive Hope's newsletters. She finds the best writing markets! I also receive "Writing for Dollars," which has even more markets. So many opportunities for writers!
Good luck with your submissions
Thanks for the tip, Julie! I'll be sure to check that out.
Wow! This sounds too good to be true! I love it! Thank you so much for your uplifting encouragement on my blog. It's so nice to see that there are good, kind, loving people who aren't afraid to extend their friendships to people like me. *HUGS*
I'm now following your blog!
