Brief Cases Receives Australia Council Emerging Writers Grant

From Briefcasesbook.com

“We are incredibly happy to announce that Tom Taylor has been selected as a recipient of an ‘Emerging Writers Grant’ through the Australian Society of Authors and the Australia Council.

The total number of applications (226) was almost four times as high as the Literature Board
received last year in the Emerging writers category (58).

In very positive news for the medium, as well as ‘Brief Cases’, three other graphic novel proposals received funding.

This grant will enable Tom to put a lot of energy into Brief Cases and the book will be much stronger for it.”

I will also add that this grant will allow me to write this book while assisting us to eat at a time when we are expecting our second child (and all that goes with it).  Woo Hoo!

A massive thank you to all of the selectors at the Australian Society of Authors, Wolfgang Bylsma, Gestalt Publishing and The Australia Council.
