Freelance Writing Jobs: June's awards, bursaries and residencies
All the upcoming deadlines you need to know about.
Hello! How is your weekend going? Today’s special edition is coming to you from the Cotswolds, where I am all about the baked goods, the gardens, and the half-dozen paperbacks that I lugged across the country. There are over 40 brilliant writing opportunities in this issue, from bursaries to residencies, memoir to fiction. Make sure you scroll to the bottom of the email for the rolling funding opportunities, too – they’ve had an update. The sun is just starting to break through the clouds here, I hope you find something wonderful to apply for today.
