P.S. Literary Launches Writers Scholarship

Dec 02, 2025

P.S. Literary Agency (PSLA) has announced the launch of the PSLA Emerging Writers Scholarship, in celebration of its 20th anniversary.

The scholarship is designed to support unpublished and underrepresented writers, offering a $1,000 award to cover writing-related expenses and one-on-one mentorship with a PSLA literary agent. Applications will open on January 5, 2026, with the first recipient revealed next summer.

““For twenty years, we’ve had the privilege of representing extraordinary authors and creators,” said PSLA cofounder Curtis Russell. “This scholarship is our way of paying it forward—helping to nurture the voices that will shape the next twenty years of storytelling.”
