The Authors Publish Fund for Literary Journals Selects First Recipient

Earlier this month we made an announcement of 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 Yellow Arrow Journal is the first receipt of our fund and will receive 150 (US) dollars.

Yellow Arrow Journal is a biannual publication of creative nonfiction, poetry, book reviews, and cover art by writers/artists that identify as women.

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. We will select our second recipient in October.
