AFAC: Creative and CriticalWritings Grant
All Information
AFAC’s Creative and Critical Writings Grant supports literary and cultural projects that expand creative writing, arts criticism, publishing, and cultural discussion connected to the Arab region. Eligible projects may include graphic novels, poetry and short-story publishing, children’s and young-adult literature, arts criticism, and literary or artistic content produced by digital media platforms. Funding can support different stages of a project, including research, development, production, and professional collaboration. However, the programme has a specific regional and language focus: the final work must be in Arabic, and the project must fit AFAC’s cultural remit. It should therefore not be treated as a general worldwide writing grant.
