MAI is pleased to announce LittWorld 2012 will take place in Nairobi, Kenya, October 28 to November 2, 2012. “MAI returns to Africa with the goal of building on momentum from the 2009 conference, which ranked among the best so far, and to increase our training support on the continent,” said MAI president John Maust.
Every three years, MAI convenes LittWorld, the only international conference of its kind, providing intensive training on strategic, publishing-related topics. The conference gathers more than 150 publishers, editors and writers from 30-plus countries.
Barine Kirimi, chair of the local host committee, welcomes Christian publishing colleagues worldwide. “Jambo! You will find empowerment and encouragement as you fellowship with a global community, united with one purpose. You can't afford to miss Littworld 2012 in Kenya. Mark the date now. Karibu!
LittWorld 2012 will include a weekend pre-conference exclusively for Africa’s French-speaking Christian publishing staff and writers. Confirmed speaker Daniel Bourdanné, general secretary of IFES and former publisher said, “I feel very encouraged to know you are planning to come back to Africa in 2012. This will certainly help build momentum for the publishing work in Africa, which remains fragile.”
The African Church increases annually faster than anywhere else in the world. But many African believers lack Christian literature written by Africans. The continent is also the world's youngest region; children under 15 make up more than 40 percent of its people. Enormous potential exists to bolster the Church and reach a new generation via life-giving books and articles.
Men and women from 94 countries have participated in the conference since it began in 1986. Through LittWorld, MAI has seen publishing houses born, new books conceived, and skills refined for more effective publishing. Inevitably, participants take away a new or reinforced commitment to publish books and articles by local authors in the heart language and culture of readers.
James Kwok, a psychologist and writer from Singapore, said, “What a great privilege for me to attend LittWorld 2009 Kenya, and share in the joy of Jesus with brothers and sisters in Christ from around the world, while being equipped to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through the written word.”

Crossed Genres Publications is currently OPEN for submissions of completed novels to publish in print and ebook formats.
What to include in your submission:
* Your personal contact information, including applicable credits (in the email’s body) * A cover letter containing a detailed yet concise synopsis of your novel * The first ten (10) pages of your novel. DO NOT send the entire novel!
To submit your novel, please use the submissions form. Write the title of your novel and your name in the Subject line. Submission attachments must be .doc, .docx or .rtf. NOTE: Crossed Genres Publications does NOT accept Multiple or Simultaneous submissions for novels.
Manuscript format
* 12 pt. Times New Roman or Arial (Courier is evil) * Single-spaced, line between paragraphs * Italics for italics, Bold for bold, etc.
Beyond the above we’re not picky, but please don’t get too “creative”: no blue paper/fonts, 18-pt Copperplate Gothic chapter titles, or 2-inch margins. (Yes, we have seen these.)
What are we looking for?
Manuscripts between 50,000 and 100,000 words (Firm). The story must be Science Fiction and/or Fantasy; blending of other genres is fine, but not required.
We tend to favor character-driven stories, but that doesn’t mean we won’t appreciate a strong action piece. Make your characters fascinating and your plot engaging. Read some of our previous publications to get an idea of what we like. Things we want to see MORE of:
* Queer characters * Characters of Color * Women MCs * Disabled characters * Science saves the day! * Far future * Stories set outside North America
Beyond that, there is no hard-and-fast rule; any story that follows the above guidelines will be considered.
What are we NOT looking for?
While Crossed Genres will consider any submissions, we’re unlikely to be interested in concepts which seek to build on currently popular themes. If you’ve described your novel as “[Bestselling Novel #1] meets [Bestselling Novel #2]“, it’s probably not what we’re looking for. The below will be very hard sells:
* Vampires, zombies or werewolves * “Science-as-villain” * Weak women being rescued by macho guys * Arthurian retellings * Eurocentric faeries * Time travel * Ghost stories
Though it should go without saying, any submissions promoting discrimination, bigotry, and/or hatred will be deleted without notice or consideration.
Compensation:
Crossed Genres will pay an advance of $250 for accepted novels, paid on publication. After the novel has earned out the advance, the author will receive royalties based on sales.
Rights:
Crossed Genres takes first worldwide print and ebook rights for two (2) years.
Crossed Genres magazine
Payment: $10 ($25 for cover art), free E-Book, discounts
Short Stories
* 1,000-8,000 words (FIRM) * Science Fiction and/or Fantasy and/or Horror combined with the current genre * We no longer accept simultaneous submissions.
(We do not accept stories above 8,000 words.)
Articles
* 500-3000 words * Articles focused on Science Fiction, Fantasy, and/or the current genre

The M Literary Residency Programme ~ 2012-2013 Residency Guidelines
The M Literary Residency Programme has been established to disseminate a broader knowledge of contemporary life and writing in India and China today and to foster deeper intellectual, cultural and artistic links across individuals and communities.
The intent of the residency is to provide space and time primarily for writing and location-specific research. It is not to be used as base for travel in order to undertake research further afield.
Writers may apply for ONE of two M Literary Residencies:
Bangalore, India
A three-month residency in a rural setting near Bangalore, South India from late 2012 to early 2013. The successful applicant will have his/her transportation costs to and from Bangalore covered by the M Residency. Accommodation (a single room) and three meals a day will be provided.
Shanghai, China
A three-month residency in Shanghai. The residency must be taken up before March 1st, 2013. The successful applicant will have his/her transportation costs to and from Shanghai covered by the M Residency. Accommodation (a studio-style apartment) and a stipend towards the cost of meals will be provided.
Stipend
Both successful applicants will receive a total sum of US$1,000 to cover additional living costs during their stay in India or China.
HOW TO APPLY
All applicants are required to submit the following information and supporting materials:
1. A completed M Residency application form.
2. A synopsis and statement of intent totaling no more than 1,500 words detailing the project that you intend to work on during the residency. Applications will be accepted in the following genres only: fiction, nonfiction, poetry or dramatic prose.
Note:
• Statement of intent: this should detail how and why the location will benefit your project, and how the residency itself will be of benefit to you.
• The intent of the residency is to provide space and time primarily for writing and location-specific research and not as a base for travel to undertake research further afield.
3. Two samples of your work in the genre of your chosen project for the residency. Short stories, essays, novel extracts, drama and poetry are all welcome. The total word count of the two pieces combined should not exceed 2,500 words.
Note:
• Applications that do not include support material in the genre of the nominated project will be at a disadvantage.
• If poetry samples are less than 30 lines long, they can be grouped with 1-2 other poems to form one sample. The total line count of the poetry group should not exceed 100 lines or the word count.
• Applicants may be asked to submit additional samples of their work.
4. One of the following proofs of identification: copy of passport, driving licence or ID card.
5. Two referees, including their contact details, to whom the residency administrator may write to. The referee does not need to work in a literary capacity but needs to know the candidate well.
PLEASE NOTE
• Please send applications by email only to the Administrator at mliteraryresidency@googlemail.com. We will notify you immediately on receipt of your application.
• Applications must be received by Friday, 1 July 2011. Applications received after this date will not be considered.
• Applicants must cover their own travel and medical insurance.
CONDITIONS OF ENTRY
• Participation in two (2) events:
The M Literary Residency aims to encourage interaction between talented artists and local communities, and to foster an interest in the arts within the local communities of the host countries. It is therefore a condition of entry that the successful candidate must agree to participate in at least two events within the local community during their stay. This could be a talk or workshop at a school, college or bookshop. Details will be worked out between the fellow and M Residency staff. All expenses will be met by the M Literary Residency.
• Remaining in Residence
It is expected that fellows will remain in residence throughout the threemonth fellowship. Fellows must notify M Residency staff at the earliest opportunity if they expect to have to leave the residency for a period of more than one week.
• Dates / Length of Residency
• India: 10-12 weeks, commencing late 2012
• China: 12 weeks and must be taken up before March 1st, 2013.
• It is a condition of entry that applicants agree to these terms by marking the relevant box on the application form.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• It is NOT a condition of entry that the applicant must already be a published author. Unpublished writers are welcome to apply.
• There are no nationality restrictions for applications. However, applicants should be over 21 years old and be writing in English.
• Applications may only be submitted electronically.
• In the interest of fairness, applicants’ names must not appear on samples, synopses, or statements of intent.
• The residency judges and administrators will not enter into private correspondence with applicants nor will they be able to offer specific feedback to unsuccessful applicants.
• The accommodation provided in Bangalore and Shanghai is suitable only for single occupancy. We regret that we are unable to accommodate partners or family.
• In the case of the Indian residency, accommodation may be isolated so applicants should be seeking a period of quiet, sustained work. The residency is not a base from which to travel from.
• In the case of the Shanghai residency, accommodation will be centrally located and in the thick of a noisy city. Whilst it is intended that the writer should be seeking a period of sustained work, it must be noted that this will probably not be happening in very quiet surroundings.

Special Fellowship: John Burroughs Bogliasco Fellowship in Literature

This Special Fellowship is awarded, without restriction on nationality, to persons working in creative writing. In addition to reimbursing travel expenses to and from Genoa, this Fellowship provides a cash stipend.

The Bellagio Center is located on a peninsula adjacent to Lake Como, two hours north of Milan, Italy.
The Bellagio Residency program offers scholars, artists, thought leaders, policymakers and practitioners a serene setting conducive to focused, goal-oriented work, and the unparalleled opportunity to establish new connections with fellow residents, across a stimulating array of disciplines and geographies. The Bellagio Center community generates new knowledge to solve some of the most complex problems facing our world and creates art that inspires reflection, understanding, and imagination.
The Center sponsors three kinds of residencies—for scholars, creative artists and practitioners. Creative Artist Residencies last four weeks. We are especially interested in applicants whose work connects in some way with the Rockefeller Foundation’s issue areas, and we also select each cohort for diversity to ensure that interdisciplinary and international connections remain an integral part of the Bellagio experience. In addition, the Center offers collaborative residencies for two to four people working on the same project.
Collegial interaction with other residents is an essential dimension of the Bellagio experience. Meals and informal presentations of residents' work afford an opportunity for dynamic discussion and engagement within and across disciplines. During special dinners, residents often interact with participants in international conferences hosted in other buildings on the Center's grounds.
Selection Process and Criteria Selections are based on:
* the quality of the proposed project, * how innovative the project is and how likely it is to have broad impact or influence, * the ability of the applicant to articulate the project’s purpose and goals, * the professional qualifications and achievements of the applicant, and * the feasibility and value of the Center for the proposed activity.
In addition, reviewers will consider:
* the match between the project and the Foundation’s mission, * personal qualities that are likely to make an applicant a contributing member of an international, interdisciplinary community—curiosity, breadth of interests, ability to honor other viewpoints and sensitivity to other cultures.
Because the Center aims to host an international mix of residents, the geography and nationality of those invited may be taken into account.
Facility and Travel Information
Residents are housed in two main buildings and each resident is given a private room with a bath and a study/studio, either adjoining the bedroom or on the grounds. High-speed Internet access is available free of charge in all bedrooms and most studies. A small library includes basic reference books and online research tools; the works of many former residents and those resulting from Bellagio meetings are also available. The visual artist studio is quite small, and not suited for large works or installations. There is no kiln or darkroom at the Center.
Spouses/life partners may accompany residents. Accommodations are not available for children, other family members, friends or pets. Room and board are provided to all residents and their spouses/partners, but they are responsible for their airfare and local transportation to and from Bellagio. However, the Foundation does have a limited travel assistance program, based on income level of invited residents.
Several resident suites are available for those with restricted mobility, and several of the buildings now include an elevator. Nonetheless, prospective applicants should be aware that the hillside setting of the facility and the surrounding area restricts the mobility of people who have difficulty walking or climbing stairs.
The Center is not equipped to provide medical services or assisted care. The nearest major hospital is in Lecco, a 40-minute drive away.
All creative artist residencies must comply with the following requirements:
Disciplines
The Foundation seeks applications from outstanding creative artists at all career stages with a record of significant achievement in their fields. Videographers, filmmakers, novelists, playwrights, poets, visual artists, and artists in performance art and multimedia from any country are welcome to apply. Projects in all fields are eligible, but there is particular interest in innovative endeavors that address one or more of the Rockefeller Foundation’s five interconnected issue areas: basic survival needs (such as food, water, and housing), global health, climate and environment, urbanization, social and economic security.
Type of Work
Bellagio Center Residencies cannot be used for doctoral dissertations or textbooks.
Length of Stay
Creative Artist Residencies last four weeks.
Team Residencies
The Center also offers collaborative residencies for two to four people working on the same project. The Bellagio Center prefers team projects that bring residents together from different geographies, institutions or disciplines since this reinforces the Center's goal of establishing new connections.
Repeat Applicants
Applicants are not allowed to re-submit any unsuccessful proposals, but they are permitted to submit revised versions.
Unsuccessful applicants may apply no more than three times.
Those who have held residencies (or spouses who accompanied residents for more than one week) must wait five years before reapplying. There is a lifetime limit of two residencies. Spouses/Children
Spouses/life partners may accompany the resident, or may apply for a concurrent residency. However, children, even adult children, are not allowed to accompany recipients of residencies.
Instructions
Your application must be in English.
If your work samples are not in English, please follow the instructions given on the form.
Requirements and selection criteria are different for each type of residency; therefore, we strongly recommend you read our website before beginning your application.
We do not accept incomplete applications
All materials must be submitted together. We will not follow-up with you to request missing materials.
All application materials must be submitted online, unless you are a visual artist, composer or filmmaker who needs to send work samples via post. We accept Word and PDF documents. If you are applying from a developing country, you may contact us to discuss alternate ways of submitting materials, if necessary.
The online form allows you to save and edit information.
You do not need to finish your online application in one session. You will be able to save the form and return to revise, edit and add information at a later date. Once you begin your application, an access code will be sent to your preferred email address. You may access your application and edit as many times as you wish using the code and your email address.
