So thank you THANK YOU to each and every person who helped us reach this goal. I think what we're doing is valuable and I love being a part of it. Here's to another year of Strange Surreal Shocking Beautiful fiction.

We don't bring in big name authors to anchor our funding drives, and we prioritize new voices. This is important to us, but it does make it more difficult to get the word out about our fundraising.
