Support The American Reader

The American Reader benefits from the generous support of readers and businesses who are committed to the journal’s mission. The best way to support us is of course to subscribe or to partner with us by advertising in our pages or online. 

 

Contributions made on this page are not tax deductible. On the other hand, by supporting the Reader past a sales transaction, you are further supporting the next generation of American literature and criticism. You are affirming the enduring value of honest, rigorous, bold thought in American life. You are also asserting that, for a literature and criticism to be true to its time, every generation must speak—and be empowered to speak—for itself. In short, you are supporting a journal that, according to Forbes magazine, “encapsulates the spirit of the age.” 

 

All our revenues provide crucial operating support for the magazine. You will aid the continued publication of new literature, essays, reviews, and interviews in print each month, the daily curation of online essays and correspondence, and the expansion of our readership by helping to offset production, printing, and personnel costs. Thank you for helping to publish the American Reader!
