Did you know we administer a number of grants for authors? Grants currently open for applications include: 🖊️Authors' Foundation grants for works-in-progress 📜Strachey Trust Grants to enable authors to access literary manuscripts in a UK or Republic of Ireland archive

“Immense gratitude to the Society of Authors for awarding me one of their grants. These are so valuable for authors - allowing a period of focused work with a little less financial stress. Do apply - the process is very straightforward and they’re a hugely supportive organisation.” Sam Byers

Don't know where this energy is coming from, but after yesterday's successful gardening, painting and cooking spree, today so far I have watered garden, ripped out a plant I forgot, done washing and hung out, massacred wasp loving greenery now on to moussaka for lunch with bargain aubergines. #Busy

Back when I had Twitter I used to offer free headshots for low-income authors, not sure I have much reach here but the offer is still there. London or Birmingham (although I’m in Glasgow and Edinburgh at the end of Aug and can fit in a session. Will have lights so can be indoors).

Just briefly seen news. These organisations seem determined to do their utmost to destroy Burnham. He gave a powerful piece to camera today about the situation with prison releases. Was it referred to - of course not. #Burnham

FREE SEEDS!!! Mr Etty has asked me to offer parcels of 50 seed packets to 6 charitable organisations connected to horticulture. Please email sales@thomasetty.co.uk with details of your organisation. Should more than 6 organisations apply, we will pick 6 names from a hat to decide. Closing 15th Aug

Our mission is to create new non-profit allotment sites. Do you have a corner of land which could be suitable? You might be thinking about how you can give back to your local community, or about Corporate Social Responsibility. Everything we do is non-profit for the benefit of local people.
