Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant for Works-in-Progress

The Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant for Works-in-Progress provides $40,000 awards to as many as ten writers annually who are completing book-length works of deeply researched and imaginatively composed nonfiction for a general adult readership. The grant is intended for multiyear book projects requiring large amounts of deep and focused research, thinking, and writing at a crucial point mid-process, after significant work has been accomplished but when an extra infusion of support can make a difference in the ultimate shape and quality of the work. The Foundation particularly encourages applications from writers of color who often face additional structural hurdles to securing institutional resources. Projects must be under contract with a publisher in Canada, the UK, or the US to be eligible. The grant welcomes applications for works of history, cultural or political reportage, biography, memoir, science, philosophy, criticism, graphic nonfiction, and personal essays, among other categories intended for general adult readers.
