That's why we are incredibly excited to be able to offer a small number of scholarships to support writers who would otherwise be unable to join us for the Oxford Writers Workshop. One full scholarship is awarded each year to a writer working on their first book of any kind or their first memoir. This fully funded place — worth $7,000 — covers accommodation, tuition, and all programme activities at Keble College, Oxford.
