Academi / Literature Wales

"The original intention was to have the images and poetry side by side in one volume but due to the reluctance of any of the Welsh publishing houses to take the project any further I've been forced to produce the book without images (due to high printing costs) and display the images here instead. Ah, well, so much for grants & bursaries, guess they happen to other people."
 - Dave Lewis

"I regret to inform you that your application for a bursary has been unsuccessful on this occasion. We received 102 applications, many of which were of a high quality..."
 
- Peter Finch

The Chief Executive of Literature Wales also says on the LW web site that: "Bursaries are increasingly important in difficult financial times..."

In fact just 5 out of 24 writers were unpublished writers so it seems that 'in difficult financial times' it is well established and published writers who seem to need taxpayers money the most... mmm? I'll let you decide :) The list of recipients can be found here.
