The RSL Brookleaze Grants for writers is open for submissions. The purpose of these grants is to buy time for novelists, short story writers, poets or playwrights with pieces of work in hand. The Council of the RSL, who will be responsible for awarding the grants, will be particularly interested in applications from writers who wish to buy time away from their normal lives – who need to take sabbaticals from their jobs, for example, or who need to travel abroad for the purpose of research. A total of £5,000 is available annually, and this may be awarded either as two grants of £2,500 or one grant of £5,000. To be eligible to apply, a writer must have had work previously published, or have been newly commissioned, by a trade publisher in the UK.
