Since March 2020, the Authors’ Contingency Fund has distributed over £1 million in small grants to authors facing financial hardship due to COVID-19. With at least 57% of authors facing financial losses during the pandemic, we have helped people struggling financially due to contractual, employment and event cancellations, others who have lost income due to illness, and others prevented from working because of caring responsibilities. As the health crisis continues, applications for grants continue to come in, and our emergency funds are running low. So, if you are in a position to help, please donate via the link below.
