How to Get That Grant with Award-Winning Author, Heather O’Connor
Join Muskoka Authors Association on Thursday, June 8 to hear award-winning author Heather O’Connor talk about how to get writing grants. Her tips and techniques are drawn from her own experience as both applicant and adjudicator and from candid conversations with granting organizations.

In fact, Heather has successfully applied for more than $35,000 in grants to support her literary career. Last year, she got an inside peek at the selection process as an adjudicator for the OAC Literary Creation grant.
