Description
The Publication Subvention, funded by the Roger W. Weiss and Howard Mayer Brown Fund at the Newberry Library, provides up to $8,000 to subsidize the publication of scholarly books focused on European civilization before 1700. Eligible disciplines include music, theater, cultural studies, and French or Italian literature. The grant aims to make significant works more accessible, either by enabling high-quality production or by reducing the cover price to reach a broader audience. Preference is given to projects that are unique in concept or execution, introduce previously unpublished source material, or have the potential to engage a wide audience.
