Act Now!
Do not delay applying for an NEA grant in fiction. The deadline, March 5, is a week away, but the application process is really complicated. It isn't really all that demanding in terms of what information you have to provide, but the on-line application procedure is very very difficult to navigate. One thing is that you have to submit your info in .pdf format. You cannot just scan your printed document. I recommend that you download Open Office, a free converter program. If you have to call tech support, just be patient. Get yourself a snack and be prepared to wait.

This just arrived via txt message from a friend: Make sure you get that confirmation email after your submit your application. I had to send from three different computers before I got mine.
