Apply for Amazon Literary Partnership

[joereddington]

• Grant Deadline is 31st January
• Main portal is https://apply.amazonliterarypartnership.co.uk/submit
• Account email is joe@equalitytime.co.uk (apparently I already created one)
• The application is:
  • Basic details
  • 1,000 words on how you'll use the grant
  • an amount.
  • Literally NO clue how much people ask for...
  • 80 grants totaling more than $1 million suggests... $12.5
    • Someone got $14k (https://twitter.com/AliceJamesBooks/status/1131257579332616193) but everybody else is extremely tight lipped
    • Feels like £15k would be a reasonable ask right?
  • I've asked a few people who might have an idea.

Plan

• [x] Open up the url and do due-diligence
• [x] See if the funding consultant is interested in a short term thing
• [ ] Write out project design
• [ ] Write drafts (hope that there are some sentances in the atomizer)
• [ ] Send to trustees

I'm waiting on a couple of people to get back to me. But I don't want to give them too much time. One more email to send.

Update: I've contacted a few people including a propential bid-writer we might use. The overall verdict is that we're bidding for about £12,500 for scaling south of london.
