Whiting Foundation Expands Creative Nonfiction Grant Program
The Whiting Foundation will expand its Creative Nonfiction Grant program to include up to 10 grantees and books publishing in the U.K. and Canada as well as the U.S.
Since 2016, the $40,000 Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant has been awarded annually to up to eight writers for book projects requiring significant investments of deep and focused thinking, research, and writing. In 2022, for the first time in its history, up to ten grantees will be selected and writers with books under contract in the U.S., U.K., or Canada may apply.
Previous Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grantees include Sarah M. Broom, author of The Yellow House: A Memoir (Grove); Andrea Elliott, author of Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope in an American City (Random House); and Kristen Radtke, author of Seek You: A Journey through American Loneliness (Pantheon).
