Apply for a Scholarship to Muse 2023
The Muse & the Marketplace conference series and GrubStreet are committed to making the literary world accessible to writers from all backgrounds. We are offering partial, need-based scholarships to our 2023 summer programming. There is no application fee.
Tuition Scholarships cover half of the registration cost for our July publishing summit (Saturday and Sunday, July 29-30), which is $85. You may apply for a scholarship now.
Manuscript Mart Scholarships cover half of the cost of an appointment, which is $90, and we will grant a maximum of one per applicant for 2023. You must register for our July summit to participate in July Manuscript Mart, which takes place on Thursday, July 27, Friday, July 28, and Sunday, July 29.
Scholarships will be reviewed and granted on a rolling basis and cannot be applied retroactively. We cannot hold Manuscript Mart appointments (which often sell out quickly!) while we review applications, so the earlier you apply, the better.
Deadlines to APPLY:
- Monday, June 12, for July Manuscript Mart
- Monday, July 17, for July summit
The Muse and GrubStreet are committed to making the literary world accessible to writers from all backgrounds. Successful applications usually contain 1–2 short paragraphs per question. We do not ask for corroborating documents; we only ask that you help us understand your situation.
Applications are reviewed by the Muse Team. We base our decisions on a combination of financial need and writerly promise. We especially welcome applications from writers who have been historically underrepresented in the literary arts.
