Help Keep Short Reads Going

Short Reads is a free literary magazine that features one short essay delivered directly to your inbox every Wednesday.

For now, we are an all-volunteer-run publication.

We are working toward becoming a nonprofit organization, which will allow us to pursue grants and donations. In the meantime, if you'd like to support our efforts, we'd be grateful! There are two ways to support the work we're doing:

👉 Make a one-time donation; or
👉 Become a supporting subscriber.

Every contribution—big or small— helps us to showcase new voices; pay writers for their work; sustain our small team’s work; and bring moments of reflection and connection at a time when the world needs more of both.

Your support and readership keep us going. We’re very grateful.
Hattie, Chad, Anna, and Stephen
