Martin Dibner Fellowship [US]:
Grant Size: $500-$1,000
Application Deadline: May 15
Background
Martin Dibner was an author of numerous books, including novels and thrillers, on subjects ranging from the Maine coast to World War II. He served on both the Maine and California arts commissions, and was the first director of the Joan Whitney Payson Gallery at Westbrook College. Mr. Dibner was a delightful person with a wide range of friends, who worked with many nonprofits and especially encouraged the development of young writers. Upon his death in 1991, several of Mr. Dibner's friends created this memorial fund to continue the spirit of his interests.
Evaluation Criteria
Applications will be accepted from promising Maine writers to allow them to further their writing skills and experience. Attendance at writing workshops is the primary purpose for support, and secondarily for assistance with living expenses while finishing a writing project. Recipients will be selected in order of the following priorities: stage of development as a writer and financial need. In even years the award will go to writers of FICTION and in odd years to writers of POETRY.
