BSA Book Support Award

The BSA Book Support Award is a three-year pilot program to encourage and prepare new book projects in the field of bibliography. One recipient each year receives a $3,000 publishing subvention and participation in a manuscript workshop with invited respondents and potentially press editors. The workshop may be held in New York City in April 2027 in conjunction with the New York Antiquarian Book Fair or conducted remotely. The subvention may be used for up to two years after receipt of the award.

$3,000 publishing subvention and an intensive manuscript workshop with invited respondents and possible press editors (in-person in New York City or remote).

Applicants must be or become active members of the Bibliographical Society of America. The Committee welcomes applications from writers at all career stages and on all professional paths; manuscripts must be a completed draft at least one month before the workshop. Projects should be well-defined and well underway with clear timelines to make use of the subvention.

Apply via the online application portal; applicants must be or become active BSA members to receive the award.
