These grants recognize literary works by immigrant and refugee writers. Foreign-born writers based in the U.S., and writers living abroad who hold refugee/asylum seeker status, are eligible to apply. The project must be a work of a literary nature: fiction, creative non-fiction, or poetry, and translated works (in case of translated works, the grant will be conferred to the original author). A writing sample is part of the submission requirements (see guidelines). The project must be an unpublished work-in-progress (see guidelines), as the grants are intended to support the completion of a manuscript. For the current cycle, they will confer two grants.
