Four Cash Grants To Support NZ Writers
Receive a $5,000 grant to help you research your latest fiction or non-fiction writing project. All New Zealand writers welcome to apply.
Four Research Grants
valued at $5,000 each are available to New Zealand writers
wishing to undertake research for a fiction or non-fiction
writing project. These are bought to you by Copyright
Licensing New Zealand (CLNZ) and the New Zealand Society of
Authors (NZSA) as part of the CLNZ Cultural Fund.
In 2021, one of the four Research Grants is targeted at diverse writers and diverse and new topics, writers from parts of Aotearoa society that are not broadly represented in writing and publishing, and writers who propose to write on issues or subjects that are topical in present day Aotearoa.
A broad range of fiction and non-fiction
writing projects are eligible for these grants, however some
works and projects are excluded so writers are encouraged to
check the guidelines carefully.

In 2020, Elizabeth Cox was one of the grant recipients for her project Elemental: New Zealand’s Women Architects.

| "It allowed me to take time off work to give me some 'clear air' to get some solid work done on my project. It would have been very difficult to progress research and writing without that space. Perhaps even more importantly, it gave me a feeling of confidence that other authors valued the project and thought it was worthy of progressing, during the tough year that was 2020. I am extremely grateful to CLNZ/NZSA for the grant." |
The CLNZ / NZSA Research Grants will open for applications on Thursday 13 May 2021, and will close at 4.00pm Friday 11 June. Submissions must be made online. Unsuccessful applicants will be advised before recipients are announced. Successful recipients will be contacted directly and we will also publish the announcement on the CLNZ website and Facebook page. The New Zealand Society of Authors (PEN NZ Inc) Te Puni Kaituhi O Aotearoa is proud to be administering the awards in 2021. |
