November reminds people to acknowledge authors for all good they provide in the world. The celebration kicks off on Nov. 1 with National Author’s Day and continues all month as part of National Novel Writing Month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writers play an important role in society. By sharing new information with readers and giving them a look into a world they otherwise would not know, they act as teachers. Authors allow people to learn new skills and lessons, as well as to learn about other cultures or generations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”<\/p> Ana\u00efs Nin

GrantWatch<\/a> has a category for Arts and Culture<\/a> grants that includes funding for authors in the U.S. and other countries. It also has a similar category for grants focused on Literacy and Libraries<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, there were over 44.2 thousand writers and authors working in the United States. Book sales also went up that year in spite of the pandemic. Since many people were at home and unable to participate in other activities, reading became more popular. According to NPD BookScan, print sales by units were up 8 percent <\/a>in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the pandemic has also been challenging for many of writers, as well as other artists, when it comes to paying bills and being able to buy basic necessities. Grants are a good way for these writers to find the money they need to stay afloat during these hard times and to continue doing what they love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, are 10 grants in honor of National Author’s Day that are currently available on GrantWatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
