Hilary Mantel - Hilary Mantel Creative Writing Award

Hilary Mantel Creative Writing Award

You will receive a one-off grant of about 523 EUR (paid in British pounds) towards a creative writing course at Kingston University London. The grant is named after the late Booker Prize-winning author Hilary Mantel, who was associated with Kingston University’s creative writing programmes. It is awarded by the university’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences to support students of creative writing.

Who can apply

• University: You are studying at Kingston University London in the United Kingdom.
• Field of study: You’re taking part in a creative writing course.
• Nationality: This award is open to applicants from the United States.

How realistic are your chances?

This prize is very narrowly defined: it is aimed at students of Creative Writing at a specific university, so the target group is small and there are only a few applicants competing for it. If you are already studying Creative Writing at Kingston and fall within the target group, your prospects are quite good. As this is a single, modestly endowed prize, a clear application that is well tailored to the call for entries will be rewarded.
