Literature Robert Zukerman, Senior Program Officer (212) 741-7077 Literature offers support to a wide range of organizations that promote the creation, publication, and dissemination of contemporary literary writing and encourage its appreciation by the general public. Literary genres supported include fiction, poetry, drama, and literary (creative) nonfiction. NYSCA is committed to the development and support of literary activity for underserved areas and audiences and to supporting writers who represent the cultural diversity of New York State. Priority is given to applicants that demonstrate a consistent policy of payment to writers and substantial efforts to reach a wide audience through creative programming and promotional efforts. Applicants are welcome and encouraged to contact staff before the registration deadline. Evaluative Criteria Grant requests are evaluated in accordance with agency-wide criteria. Artistic Evaluation NYSCA must be able to evaluate an applicant's artistic quality on an ongoing basis. It is the responsibility of all current and prospective applicants to inform staff of public programs well in advance of the event date. This is required so that staff, advisory panelists, or auditors may attend and evaluate the events. Email notification is welcome at lit@nysca.org. NYSCA believes in honoring aesthetic and artistic excellence that reflects creative diversity without cultural boundaries and an evaluation process that embraces the widest spectrum of cultural expression offered to the public, in a broad array of settings and contexts -- from classrooms and community centers, to parks and open spaces, to more traditional venues. NYSCA celebrates artistic pluralism and welcomes requests from organizations serving all of the communities that make up New York State. These include the physically challenged, immigrants and other communities with special needs.
