PROMOTION
If you are a new venture or initiative, we would be happy to provide you resources, funding, and guidance. It is not easy to sustain art and creative writing ventures, and considerably more so in South Asia. India, our first home, has no dearth of inspiring ideas, full of hope and promise. This is a small effort to bring these ideas to fruition.
Do you believe you have created something of value? Is your venture empowering marginalized voices?

What we are considering: Zines, magazines, websites, and blogs primarily. Socially relevant and ventures amplifying marginalized voices will be given preference. Social media pages might be awarded grants as well, depending upon other factors. The follow/like count of these are not relevant for consideration. Your venture must be at least 1 year old as of 30th September, 2020. Our decision will be final and binding.
