Literary Ventures Fund

The Literary Ventures Fund, a first-of-its-kind, not-for-profit private foundation, serves as a “partner-in-risk” providing supplementary support to literary authors and publishers. It does so by offering them our foundation’s resources and publishing ties to bookstores, media outlets, and publicity assistance, as well as innovative marketing and sales programs, and direct cash investments, if warranted. LVF supports works to ensure that exceptional works of fiction, literary non-fiction, and poetry with a potential for wide readership reach the widest possible readership and remain in print for years to come. LVF also presents public programs that generate discussion about the broader literary landscape, the role of publishing in serving literary writers, and how more readers can become engaged with literature.
