Like many new literary magazines, we are an independent, grassroots project, running on a dream! The generous support of our readers and friends will help us build community, pay our writers, grow sustainably, and allow us to tell these stories of revision.

Ongoing Goals:

  • Maintain growth while keeping submissions free. Regardless of donations, we will never charge for submissions—that is our commitment.

  • Cover initial and future operational costs (website, streamlined submissions platform, etc.)

Near Future Goals:

  • We deeply believe that writers should be compensated for their work, and we want to pay our writers as soon as we have financial sustainability. Your donation, even if it’s $3/month, can help us reach this goal in the years to come.

Long Term Goals:

  • We would eventually like to transition from LLC to 501(c)(3) status.

All of the supporters who give in 2025, no matter the amount, will receive recognition as Founding Donors on our website in the Winter 2025 Issue. If you’d like to keep your donation publicly anonymous, please reach out to lauren@copytextmagazine.com.
