Author's League Fund

The Author’s League Fund was an organization established in the early 20th century to support American writers, especially during times of hardship or financial need. It served as a charitable fund that provided assistance to authors facing illness, poverty, or other emergencies. The fund aimed to foster a sense of community among writers and ensure they could sustain their creative work without undue burden. Over time, it helped promote the literary profession by offering support during difficult circumstances, reflecting the recognition of writers' contributions to society.
