Application Form: Scholarship for California Rewriting Lab

This scholarship is designed to support women, non-binary, and underrepresented writers with financial need. Funded by our partners at Coven Film Festival it is intended to help writers participate in our week-long California Rewriting Lab. The Rewriting Lab is fiscally sponsored by Creative Visions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Our California Rewriting Lab is a residential program designed to help writers rewrite or polish an existing script, and we will also consider motivated writers who already have a working outline and are ready to jump into pages. Scholarship recipients are expected to keep up with homework assignments, ambitious writing targets, and to give and receive feedback in a healthy, collaborative environment. Recipients of the scholarship receive everything covered by the registration fee, but are responsible for travel to Inverness, California, and meals (apart from the opening dinner). If you are unable to participate without help for travel and subsistence, please note that in your application.
