Writer Bursaries open for applications until 25/7/25

Posted on 17th June, 2025 in LAS, Members

We are excited to announce that our pilot Writer Bursaries for work-in-progress are now open for applications!

Read our full eligibility criteria here, then complete the short online application form before 5pm on Friday 25 July 2025.

In this pilot programme we will trial a random lottery selection process. Through this we hope to learn more about how random lottery selection processes can work to reduce gatekeeping or perceptions of unfairness in the literature sector in Scotland, and to better understand levels of demand for this type of support.

These bursaries are supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland, as part of our programme for 2025/6.

Please help us connect established writers from across Scotland with this opportunity by sharing it with your networks.
