| Grants will be awarded to writers who have published at least one book of fiction, either a novel or a collection of stories. The grants are intended to enable writers to set aside time for writing. All applicants must be American citizens. The novel or story collection must have been published at the time of application. Young adult novels do not satisfy the publication requirement for our grants. The Isherwood Fellowships are very competitive. We receive several hundred applications each year for the grants. Application Deadline: Applications for 2007 grants will be accepted between September 1, 2007 and October 1, 2007. All materials must be received by October 1 of the year you are applying. No late applications will be considered.
