2024 Cross Scholarship

Are you an aspiring writer? Would you like to participate in an exciting weekend filled with information, networking and sharing ideas with experienced and award-winning writers?

Then nominate yourself (or another aspiring writer) for the Denise and Joe Cross Scholarship.

Denise Cross, the recipient of the 2023 Buchbinder Scholarship, learned so much from our conference that she wanted to “pay it forward”. So she and her husband Joe are offering the Denise and Joe Cross Scholarship to another aspiring writer.

The scholarship will cover the costs of the registration, conference meals and two nights’ stay at the conference hotel.*

It doesn’t matter in which genre you write. The only requirement is that the recipient must never have been published, including self-published, as of the date of entry submission.

To enter, complete the form below and describe in 500 words or less why you or your nominee should receive the scholarship.
