INTERVIEW WITH MIRA TODAY

Good morning, Gentle Readers,
Recently, I was interviewed by writer Alexis Grant, who keeps a blog called Aspiring Author. Alexis is a journalist, travel writer and is currently writing her first book, a travel memoir. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find that the interview is up and you can now view it online! The link is here. I talk a little about how I find grants and residencies for you but I also talk a bit about how I made my living over the years as well as my upcoming book, The Memory Palace. I hope you check out Alexis Grant's site and my interview. And I highly suggest you spend a little time perusing her site and checking out some of the other articles she has on writing. She is one of the people you'll be reading more about when I start posting interviews. (Coming soon!).

Keep working hard....as Virginia Woolf once said (and I hope I'm getting it right), "To be carried on passively is unthinkable."
Cheers,
Mira

Welcome to Mira's List

This blog provides information on upcoming grants, fellowships and residencies for artists, writers, composers, and media artists. It is for serious professionals only, from emerging to mid-career to established. I also publish information for graduate students from time to time. However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money. At least that is my current policy. For more info on where to exhibit or publish, please see my links section which I try to periodically update. I sift through hundreds of search engines and websites to find opportunities for YOU dear artist. In return, I ask you to pass the information along to those who need it. Also, since this is a free blog, I don't always have the time to weed carefully through everything. If you find a grant or website or residency that is not up-to-date, is dodgy in some way, or is no longer in existence, please let me know! Also, if you stay somewhere at one of the residencies I suggest and have a good experience, I want that feedback too. Please check my FAQs at the top right side bar if you have questions before starting your search. Best wishes and happy hunting!
