Here at the Royal Literary Fund, we offer a range of hardship grants to professional writers needing short-term to long-term financial support.

You might be facing an unexpected bill, reduced income or unable to write due to a change in circumstances, sickness, disability, or age.

“Over a 20-year career, the RLF have bailed me out three times with grants, each time as I was going under, in serious debt, with rent arrears. I don’t think my literary career would have survived without this financial aid.”

Monique Roffey

For over two centuries and through our commitment to supporting literary excellence and representation in contemporary writing, we have been able to support many writers who have gone on to produce some of their most influential and best-known works, including Anna Burns, Margaret Busby, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Ivy Compton-Burnett, Joseph Conrad, Elizabeth Jennings, James Joyce, Hanif Kureishi, D.H. Lawrence, Doris Lessing, Mustapha Matura, Edna O’Brien, Mervyn Peake, Monique Roffey, Ali Smith, Bram Stoker, Dylan Thomas, and Antonia White.

Our Grants team will guide you through our confidential application process to see if you or your family qualify for assistance.
