Publication Resources

Yale has several resources for printing and publishing your chapbook, literary journal, or zine, website, or podcast. This section serves as a road map to finding what you need. Whether you are looking for funding, equipment, or guidance, we can help direct you there. Use the links below to explore the resource landscape for printing and publication.

Funding

• CPA guidelines for accessing awarded funds: Each residential college has its own guidelines for how CPA recipients may spend their award funding, so contact your Head of College office with questions.
   
• Other funding opportunities: Yale has several awards, fellowships, and funds available to undergraduate art-makers in addition to the CPA. 

Web Hosting

• Yale/WIX Partnership: Yale College’s Office of Career Strategy has partnered with Wix to provide students with access to a unique, multi-year premium account where they can showcase and promote their portfolio website. While the promotion lasts, and on a first-request basis, the WIX/Yale Partnership will provide Yale students a personal code to activate a subsidized WIX premium account.
