Well, I didn’t expect to be posting again until Wednesday (something special happening that day), but I couldn’t help myself. I have some wonderful news!
The Greater Columbus Arts Council, or GCAC, is a local organization that supports the arts in Columbus and all of central Ohio, including writers such as myself. And a couple of times a year, they give grants to artists and organizations in the area. I received a grant last year, and it was very helpful. So when I heard I could apply for another grant even after just getting one, I decided to try.
Late Friday night, I learned I would be awarded another grant, and for the full amount I asked for!
I am so happy and grateful to GCAC for supporting my writing career. I love writing, but it can get a tad expensive. Especially when you wish to attend events or you need stock for those events. Or you just want a business card! It means a lot to me that GCAC is helping me afford those things and therefore reaching my dreams of writing full time.
As for what I’ll be putting the money I receive towards, it’ll be going towards purchasing author copies, advertising and marketing materials/services, and paying for booths at conventions. Since those are mostly what I spend money on (besides hotels when I travel), this grant will be so helpful.
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know. If you would like to learn more about GCAC, you can check out their website here. Once again, thanks to GCAC for the generous grant. I will use it to scare more people than ever before.
Until next time, Followers of Fear, good night and pleasant nightmares.
Rami, this is wonderful news. Congratulations!
Thanks Priscilla! I’m looking forward to all I can do with this grant. It’s going to take me far through the next year.
Yay! That’s wonderful news! Congrats, Rami! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks! I can’t use it to get to Ireland, but I will use it so I can further my career and someday afford to.
That’s a shame, but I like your plan! 😁
I’m the man with the plan.
