Everyone should be able to share their story. Whether you write for yourself, your family, or the world, you can get immense joy and fulfillment from writing about your life. 

Everyone should be able to experience that.

But traditionally, the publishing industry has really sucked at supporting writers who are Black, Indigenous, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people.

It’s not okay.

The Green Goose Scholarship Program provides financial support to writers who have traditionally been under-supported in the publishing industry.

The program covers 100 percent of the cost of the Write Your Memoir course for writers who identify as:

  • Black,

  • Indigenous,

  • A person of color, or

  • An LQBTQ+ person. 

If you’re a writer (or aspiring writer!) with one or more of these identities, I invite you to read the details below and apply to this program.

The world needs your voice. The world needs your story.

Green Goose Scholarship Program Details

  • The scholarship provides a 100 percent grant for the online, self-paced course, Write Your Memoir: A Step-by-Step Guide to Finally Finish Your Book—Even If You’ve Barely Started.

  • The grant is worth $997 US.

  • In the Fall 2020 application round, ten scholarships are available. These are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • Applications are open until all ten scholarships have been awarded. When no more are available, I’ll update this page with the dates of the next application round. 

  • Before applying, please click here to learn about the Write Your Memoir course and ensure it’s right for you.

Green Goose Scholarship Program Eligibility

  • You must confirm that you identify as

    No proof is required, and you do not need to specify which you identify with.

  • You do not need to demonstrate financial need. 

  • You must start the Write Your Memoir course within thirty days of receiving your grant or access will be rescinded. There is no deadline for completing the course, and, after completion, you’ll continue to have lifetime access to the course.

  • You must be actively writing a memoir or autobiography, or intend to do so once starting the course.

Variety is the writer’s life

This summer, I wrote, swam, edited, paddle boarded, coached writers, ate, edited, wrote, and ate lots more. I drank beer, margaritas, gin, wine, and I think a Smirnoff Ice slipped in there somewhere. I splurged on variety, in work, and in life. And I became inspired. Variety fuels inspiration, which ignites great writing. How will you add variety to your writing life? Read more…
