I do know one writer who received one last year. She told me she had tried in the past and was always turned down and then this last time she got it. Needless to say she was in shock. This year, when she applied the answer again was, no. I know another writer who has had four books published and one forthcoming this fall and you guessed it, he didn’t receive a grant either. I think the completion is really high and receiving one is just as tough as having your work published. Will I try again? Likely. And you should, too. You just never know…
