Literature Wales supports the literary ecosystem in Wales by funding public-facing literature events, writer-led wellbeing workshops, and bursaries that give writers time and space to create. Their giving strongly favors Wales-based activity and writers, with a clear emphasis on accessibility, community engagement, and early-career or emerging talent. The funder is distinctive for combining grassroots literary programming with direct support for writers’ development and creative output.
Primarily small grants and bursaries delivered through structured programs, often with specific eligibility and thematic purpose. The Inspiring Communities Fund covers up to 75% of writer fees and expenses for events, with average awards around £238, while bursaries provide time-to-write support; some schemes are round-based or tied to training requirements.
Check the specific program and eligibility carefully: opportunities are Wales-focused and often require proposals tied to literary events, community benefit, or writing development. For event funding, expect support to cover only part of writer costs; for bursaries and wellbeing schemes, monitor round deadlines and any training or participation requirements before applying.
