Book and magazine publishers should not apply in the GOS category, but should seek support under the Literary Magazine or Book Publication categories that follow. The Council recognizes the fundamental value of publishing in this society and the need to support noncommercial literary magazines and book publishers. Support from these two categories is intended to help cover a broad range of institutional and programmatic activities and their costs, including publication, distribution, administrative and editorial costs, and authors' and translators' fees. These categories are open to applications in alternate years and provide two-year multiyear support. Eligibility Criteria Applicants must have published at least two separate issues in the two calendar years prior to the application deadline.
Double issues count as one issue.
Applicants must maintain their principal editorial offices in New York State. Applicants in both categories will be asked to complete a publication fact sheet at a point following receipt of their March 1 application. GPS is geared to support qualifying organizations with a consistent track record of artistic achievement, public service, and managerial competence in their programming efforts. Please read the agency-wide GPS guidelines in section 3 of the book. Consult with Program staff before applying for GPS to ensure that your organization qualifies and that this category best suits your needs.
