Introducing the Denise and Joe Cross Scholarship for unpublished authors!


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.

As the recipient of the 2023 Buchbinder Scholarship, I learned so much and made so many new writing friends that I wanted to “pay it forward”. So my husband Joe and I are offering the Denise and Joe Cross Scholarship to another aspiring writer.

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

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

Good Luck!
