Announcing the Ninth and Tenth Recipients of the Authors Publish Fund for Literary Journals

In September 2020, we started a new fund for literary journals. You can learn all about this fund here.

We selected the recipient of the fund using a random number generator. We are announcing the winners of the May and June fund today.

Thank you to everyone who has applied.

Journals who have already submitted themselves for consideration will be considered in future draws as well. There is no need to resubmit.

The recipient of for the May fund is Time of the Poet Republic and you can find out more about them here

It is part of an internet-based literary arts and writers center hosting literary journals, profiling poets’ art vistas and writers of note. The internet-based writers centers give space to literary voices from the Cape of Good Hope into Europe, Asia, USA and Canada. You can find their submission guidelines here.

The recipient for the June fund is the Gyroscope Review and you can find more about them here.

According to their website, “Gyroscope Review publishes fine contemporary poetry in a variety of forms and themes. We welcome both new and established writers and publish on a quarterly basis. Gyroscope Review is open to poetry in all genres, including science-fiction, fantasy, and horror. We are not a paying market. We don’t offer contributor’s copies at this time, but we do offer a free PDF download of each issue. Print editions are available on Amazon. Gyroscope Review has an annual issue in the Fall just for women-identifying writers over the age of fifty.”

Sorry this is going out a little late. We initially reached out to two fund recipients, neither of whom responded.

There are currently thirteen literary journals on the application list, so if you run a journal that needs funding, don’t hesitate to apply. If you know of a journal that needs funding, please encourage the editor(s) to apply for the funding.

We will select our eleventh recipient in July.
