AUTHORS LAB - 2021
AIC Authors’ Lab is an initiative to discover, encourage and promote Ambedkarite Anti-Caste authors.
We believe in a holistic approach to assist the Authors creative journey. To facilitate, AIC will offer Workshops, Mentorship and Advisory Sessions from accomplished Ambedkarite authors to bring the best out of the aspiring authors.
Three submissions with the most potential to be made into books will be offered prizes worth USD 500 each and one-on-one mentoring with our acclaimed authors Sujatha and Gaurav.
AIC will further work with each of the finalists to understand their unique needs and challenges as they embark on completing the book and offer appropriate support in the form of a fellowship, ongoing coaching and eventual publishing under AIC publishing house.
