Jane Yolen Mid-list Author Grants

Critically acclaimed children’s book author Jane Yolen created this grant to honor the contribution of mid-list authors.  The grant awards $3,000 to mid-list authors and aims to help raise awareness about their current works in progress.  Jane was the first SCBWI Regional Advisor and currently sits on the SCBWI Board of Advisors.

This award is given to writers who have had good careers, and not for a lack of talent, have perhaps stalled out. This is our way to say what you write is powerful and important and we don't want you to stop.
