Alice Hoffman presents The World that We Knew in conversation with Marc Skvirsky

The December 2019 edition of "Writing Life Essentials," a monthly hand-curated list of contests, grants, scholarships, submissions calls, and awards, with a focus on opportunities that are at least one of the following: local, free to apply, and/or committed to celebrating and supporting writers from historically marginalized communities. We do the research, so you have more time for what matters: the writing. Or, scrambling to find gifts for your family. That matters too.
