About the MMF Writing Scholarship
MMF Writing Scholarship for Africans 2021

The Miles Morland Foundation’s primary goal is to fund African entities that help Africans get their voices heard. It is particularly enthusiastic in promoting African writing and literature.

It might be tough for writers to compose while still making a living until they become well-known. The Miles Morland Foundation provides a small number of MMF Writing Scholarships each year to assist meet this demand, with the goal of giving each Scholar enough time to complete the first draft of a completed book.

Scholarship Undertaken

At the end of each month, scholars must send the Foundation 10,000 new words that they will have written over the course of the month. Scholars are also asked to donate to the MMF 20% of whatever they subsequently receive from the book they write during the period of their Scholarship.

This includes revenues as a result of film rights, serializations, or other ancillary revenues arising from the book written during the Scholarship period. These funds will be used to support other promising writers. The 20% return obligation should be considered a debt of honor rather than a legally binding obligation.

Benefit

Scholars writing fiction will receive a grant of £18,000, paid monthly over the course of twelve months. At the discretion of the Foundation, Scholars writing non-fiction, who require additional research time, could receive an additional grant, paid over a period of up to eighteen months.
