There are many paths to success for authors beyond submitting your writing to publishers. Contests open the door to both publication and financial awards. Grants and fellowships provide financial support for your work, and residencies offer time to concentrate on your projects without distractions or interruptions.

In this webinar, award-winning writer Jeanne Lyet Gassman will discuss the process of entering contests, including how to recognize legitimate contests from scams. She will also review how to apply for grants and fellowships or to artist residencies and discuss what they can do for your career.
