GRANT OPPORTUNITY:
The PEN/Jean Stein Grant for Literary Oral History is offered to an outstanding work of literary nonfiction that uses oral history to illuminate an event, individual, place, or movement. The winner will be awarded with a grant of $10,000 to help maintain or complete his/her ongoing project. Founded in 2017, past winners include Aleksandar Hemon for How Did You Get Here?: Tales of Displacement and Nyssa Chow for Still.Life.
Submissions for the 2019 awards cycle will be accepted from June 1, 2018 through August 15, 2018. In order for a project to be deemed eligible it must fall within these guidelines:
Oral history must be a significant component of the project
Must be the work of a single individual, written in English
Must be an unpublished work in progress
Must be a work of literary nonfiction
Please share this information with your colleagues and network, as we’d love for as many writers and oral historians as possible to know about this fantastic opportunity.
