The Funding Guide
I created the Funding Guide for Black Women Writers to help you find and apply for funding.
For now, it’s free on Substack, with an open invitation to donate if you’re able. Your support helps me keep resources like this accessible to everyone who needs them.
Here’s the link to the Substack post with the guide.
The Funding Log for Writers
A working system for tracking opportunities, applications, and documents
The Funding Log for Writers is a Notion-based working document designed to help writers track funding opportunities, store application materials, and document submissions over time.
Applying for funding can feel overwhelming because the process is fragmented. Opportunities are scattered across websites. Application materials live in multiple folders. Deadlines blur together. Each new application feels like starting from scratch.
I created The Funding Log for Writers to contain all of that in one clear place.
To use the document, you will need a free Notion account, which you will be prompted to create once you purchase and click on the document link. It takes just a few steps to create your account.
The Funding Log document includes short walk-through videos to demonstrate how to use each section in case you haven’t used Notion before.
This is a working document designed to support writers as they navigate grants, fellowships, and awards over time. It helps you keep track of what you’re applying for, who’s offering funding, which materials you’ve prepared, and what you’ve already submitted.
