Announcing the Sixth Recipient of the Authors Publish Fund for Writers

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 happy to announce that ARTmosterrific is the sixth recipient of our fund and will receive 150 (US) dollars.

ARTmosterrific is “an online platform and community by and for African undergraduates.”

They are currently closed to submissions. Please read their guidelines carefully before submitting, when they open for submissions again.

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.

There are currently eleven literary journals on the 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 seventh recipient in March.


Emily Harstone is the author of many popular books, including The Authors Publish Guide to Manuscript SubmissionsSubmit, Publish, Repeat, and The 2020 Guide to Manuscript Publishers.

She regularly teaches three acclaimed courses on writing and publishing at The Writer’s Workshop at Authors Publish. You can follow her on Facebook here.
