      I’m always astounded by how low the stakes are at the entry levels of oversupplied artistic fields. This is a $1000 grant for South Asian speculative lit. Not per month fit a year or a summer even. Just one $1000 grant.https://locusmag.com/2021/03/singh-wins-a-c-bose-grant/ …

      Maybe it’s the prestige/network? This winner is an experienced media industry person back in school for the “Iowa nonfiction writing program.” Not someone for whom I’d think $1000 would make much of a difference.

      I mean this wouldn’t even be much in India. $1000 = Rs. 70,000 might buy an aspiring science fiction writer trying to live in reasonable middle-class comfort 3 months in Bombay. Maybe a year in a remote small town.

      One reason I never bothered trying to break into “real” writing is there’s so many obviously better ways to make $ to sustain writing. My first/last writing prize/grant type money in India was Rs. 600 in like 1988/8th grade. My first/last time in the US was $500 in grad school.

      While I’ve made a fair amount of money writing, this kind of grant/prize stuff is probably < $1000. If I’d had to rely on that kind of source for building a lifestyle around writing I’d have given up immediately. Writing is fun, but not worth that kind of scrounging to pursue.

      The point is not to suffer for your art, but to make sure the other guy suffers for his.
