Princeton University Press Offering Grants to Historically Excluded and Underrepresented Scholars
Princeton University Press is offering grants for authors who represent groups historically underrepresented in STEM fields who are interested in developing a nonfiction book proposal. Applications are open August 12 to October 11, with selected candidates notified in December. Coaches participating in the grant program include TAA member Michelle Boyd, PhD, Inkwell Writing Retreats; and Margy Thomas, PhD, ScholarShape.
Selected grantees will be paired with a writing coach to collaborate on the development of a proposal for general interest books, scholarly monographs, or textbooks in physics and astronomy, earth science, biology, natural history, neuroscience, computer science, and the mathematical sciences. The opportunity is open to first-time and previously published authors who are writing in English from anywhere in the world.
According to PUP, “With Supporting Diverse Voices grants, we offer historically excluded and underrepresented scholars around the globe the opportunity to develop a book proposal in group or one-on-one settings with one of our partnering book coaches, each with her own approach to the collaborative development process.”
