Description
The Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) runs the First Book Subvention Program to support publication of books by first-time authors. The program helps bring an author’s first book into print through a publication subvention, rather than a separate research or project-development award. Authors must have already secured a publishing contract.
Multiple awards are made each year through a competitive process. Financial support goes directly to the publishing press, not to the author. The program is listed among ASEEES’s grants and fellowships as a publication-focused opportunity.
