Our Values: Transparency

Publishing is a big, confusing beast. How does the work happen? Where does the money get used? With each issue, our transparency index tells you where we used our available funds, and why.

Our Values: Community

Our family of contributors has made us what we are today. Every one of their successes is cause for celebration. Look for updated news of our contributors on our blog, in our social feeds, and in special features.

Our Values: Diversity

We believe diversity means richness in culture. We are committed to publishing voices that represent the breadth of our society.

Our Values: Sustainability

We want writers to go on writing. So we pay the writer. And to keep the overall body of work fresh, we’ll never solicit: 100% of our work is from the open queue. Finally, to keep your work moving ahead, we provide feedback, if requested, in our prose departments.
