Attention all small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs looking to bring their literary works to life! Look no further than the Amazon Literary Partnership grant program. This program has provided more than $15 million in grants since 2009 to help writers create, publish, learn, teach, experiment, and thrive.
Right now, the Amazon Literary Partnership is accepting grant requests for 2023, with applications closing on April 14th. This program seeks to fund organizations that support diverse and underrepresented authors and storytellers. Past recipients have included nonprofit writing centers, residencies, fellowships, and much more.
But what sets the Amazon Literary Partnership grant program apart is their collaboration with the Academy of American Poets for the Poetry Fund and Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) for the Literary Magazine Fund. Through these partnerships, the program is able to administer 10-15 grants in 2023, providing a fantastic opportunity for small businesses and entrepreneurs to break into the industry. At the very least, you all should apply and see what happens!
