Here's some great news for Indian authors and illustrators for children! The Neev Literature Festival (NLF) has announced its Fellowships for children’s book creators to facilitate good-quality, original, and deeply researched children’s books that reflect Indian lives and experiences.
NLF has invited proposals from children's writers and illustrators in any genre-- be it picture book, YA, graphic novels, fiction or non-fiction-- for the Fellowships. The NLF Fellowships Jury will then assess the proposals and shortlist a few candidates, from which the fellowship winners will be chosen after an interview by the Jury. The selected book creators for the Fellowship will receive a grant of INR 6 Lakhs each for a duration of one year to research and write their book.
