Grants for literary magazines and chapbook publications?
April 4, 2018 7:17 AM

I am wondering if there are anay specific grants that will fund literary magazines as well as a chapbook press?

I have found a few, but it is difficult to narrow it down to literary magazines and chapbook presses. Are there any to recommend? How would I go about looking? I am not sure if a literary magazine is considered a literarry organization as well. Kind of knew to all this for work.

Are you in Canada? Canada Council for the Arts has grants for publishing. What province are you in? Ontario Council for the Arts has similar grant programs.

The Foundation Center and NYFA both welcome inquiry emails about exactly this kind of thing – they can direct you to both national and TX-specific resources for possible funding.

Also don’t forget to look for foundations that, while they’re not lit-world focused, might have a special interest in the press’s subject matter / regional focus / demographic focus
