The Charles S. Longcope Jr. Writers and Artists Grant

The Gay & Lesbian Review / Worldwide (The G&LR), with the generous support of James Lynn Williams in honor of his late husband, Charles S. Longcope Jr., has created a writers and artists grant program to cultivate a diverse pool of writers for The G&LR to bring new perspectives, ideas, and voices to the magazine. The program aims to encourage and support emerging and unpublished LGBTQ+ writers, thinkers, scholars, and artists. The grant provides funding to write an article for The G&LR and to begin, complete, or advance LGBTQ+ related writing and other creative projects such as a research paper or thesis, a book, a podcast, a video, a script, a novel, a multimedia creation, or an art installation. Proposals that incorporate discussion of race, gender, and class, disability, or other similar topics are of particular interest. Recipients must deliver an article to be published in The G&LR about their work with a general audience in mind.
