Public
Programs
Registration deadline:
January 22, 2010 The Public Programs category offers
project support to organizations that present professional writers to
the public as part of a reading series. It also offers support for
other public literary programs including workshops, book discussion
groups led by published writers, lectures by writers, writers' tours,
and literary programs involving electronic media. This category serves
new applicants and organizations whose primary focus is not literary. Funding
in this category is directed toward writers'/curators’ fees and
promotional activities. New applicants are
expected to have a track record of one year of programming. Reading
series at colleges and universities are eligible to apply, provided
they are promoted to and attended by the general public, and provided
they are not offered for college credit to students. All
applicants are expected to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to paying
writers' fees. (Refer to www.LitTAP.org
on writers' fees
for updates on suggested minimum fees.) Applicants
in this category may be reviewed in a competitive process. Eligibility Criteria Applicants offering literary programs to the public should present a minimum of four literary readings per year. Writing workshops should offer a minimum of eight consecutive sessions per year taught by professional writers and be open to the public. Artistic Evaluation The Council must be able to evaluate an applicant's artistic quality on an ongoing basis. It is the responsibility of all current and prospective applicants to inform the Program of events or workshops at least four weeks in advance of the event date so that staff, advisory panelists, or program auditors may attend and evaluate the events. See instructions for requesting an artistic audit prior to your first application in this category.
