Abstract
Spotify is giving $50,000 in grants to authors of unpublished stories featuring ‘exceptional’ depictions of mental health, Variety reported Feb. 12. The company is partnering with The Black List, a platform for filmmakers and writers to showcase projects to industry professionals, and The Jed Foundation (JED), a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping prevent suicide for teens and young adults, to launch the Spotify x JED Impact Award. The impact award will provide $10,000 grants to five authors of unpublished manuscripts that feature “exceptional depictions” of mental health in fiction, with the goal of diversifying mental health narratives in fiction, the company says. As part of the initiative, Spotify will cover fee waivers to allow up to 140 writers to receive a free month of hosting and a free evaluation on The Black List platform. Submissions are open beginning Feb. 12 on The Black List's website at this link (available for English-language manuscripts globally) and will close July 8, 2025.
据《综艺》杂志2月12日报道,Spotify将向未发表的关于心理健康的“特殊”描述的故事的作者提供5万美元的资助。该公司正在与电影制作人和作家向行业专业人士展示项目的平台The Black List,以及致力于帮助青少年和年轻人预防自杀的非营利组织Jed基金会(Jed)合作,推出Spotify x Jed影响力奖。该公司表示,影响力奖将向五位未发表手稿的作者提供1万美元的资助,这些手稿在小说中对心理健康进行了“特殊描述”,目的是使小说中的心理健康叙事多样化。作为该计划的一部分,Spotify将提供费用减免,允许多达140名作家在the Black List平台上获得一个月的免费托管服务和免费评估。2月12日起,《黑名单》网站上的投稿将在这个链接上开放(全球范围内的英文手稿都可以使用),截止日期为2025年7月8日。
