Hello! How are you doing today? May is always such a good time of year for writing opportunities and submissions. There are some brilliant prizes, awards and bursaries in this issue, and a whopping sixteen of them close on the 31st, including a prize that I won in 2022. I hope you find something fruitful in this issue, don’t forget to scroll to the bottom for all of the ongoing funding opportunities.


"A career-changing book... if you're thinking about going freelance, read this first," says GQ’s Oliver Franklin-Wallis.

My book, The Pyjama Myth: the Freelance Writer's Survival Guide, will make you a better, happier freelancer and you can order your copy from Bookshop.


Closing before the end of May (last day to apply after the link):

  • Today’s your last day to enter the Creative Future Writers' Award. It’s on the theme of reveal. (19th)

  • Wild Hunt Books are closing submissions for their Northern Weird Project very soon. (21st)

  • Out, damned spot. There’s still a few days left to apply to be the Royal Court Theatre’s associate playwright. (23rd)

  • I’m so excited for the Arts Council’s new project Nature Calling. Some brilliant work will come out of it and you’ve got until Friday to apply. (24th)

  • Nature calls again: the National Trust is looking for a writer-in-residence for Brimham Rocks. (24th)

  • Women screenwriters who don’t yet have a writing credit, the WFTV Kay Mellor Screenwriters’ Lab is offering you a fully-funded 5-day Arvon course. The website advises that it could close earlier than the advertised deadline. (28th)
