at Louis Place is pleased to launch an open call for the Artist Publishing Cohort, a new initiative offering personalized support for artists with publishing projects in progress. 
 
The Artist Publishing Cohort is designed to support individual writers as they chart a path to publication via access to regular practical and creative support on their publishing project, including coaching sessions with an aligned industry professional, weekly cohort workshops for creative feedback, monthly meetings with aLP staff to identify opportunities and connections, and a $1000 stipend to support their creative work.
 
We invite applications from interdisciplinary artists whose primary training is outside the field of creative writing with a publishing project in progress featuring their own creative work. Eligible applications will be reviewed by a jury of editors, curators, and artists. Successful applicants will have projects that are urgent, innovative, feasible, and aligned with aLP's mission of supporting artists and projects marginalized by traditional artistic communities and publishing pathways.
 
The online application is now open and will close on February 15, 2025 (11:59PM ET). We encourage applicants to register for the information session on Thursday, January 23 at 4pm PT / 7pm ET here. For full details and the application form, please visit this link and direct any questions to publishing@atlouisplace.com.
