Are first time authors awarded UK grants for their work?

Grants for authors are available in the UK whether they are first time authors or not, but there may be some specifically for those who have not published work before. The grants may provide funding to help get into distribution or to pay for publishing costs. They may also provide funding for people to use while they wait until their book sells, or to live on while they write it. Look for the UK grants available federally as well as those that are only open in your area or region.
