Since 2009, the Amazon Literary Partnership (ALP) has provided $18 million in grants to more than 150 U.S. literary nonprofit organizations, including independent publishers, with the aim of empowering writers, helping them create, publish, learn, teach, experiment, and thrive. Grants are given to innovative, energetic groups whose core mission is to develop emerging writers, build the careers of working writers, and connect them with readers.
Applications for the 2026 grants were accepted through May 1. Applicants will be notified about the status of their request in early July.
