Gratitude

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to you all for sticking with us another year. Absolutely nothing about running a literary journal is easy, or even all that sensible from a financial perspective, but we're not here to be sensible or make money. We're here to make it as easy as possible for you to find, read, engage, and celebrate good writing.You inspire me to keep volunteering to keep this place running. Thank you.It's been said before in more eloquent ways, but if you like what a small group of editors does, and if you can support them, then you should support them. If you like what we do at Atticus Review, you can support us in a few ways. We started a decade ago when publishing things online used to be cheaper (like, for instance, the cost of a particular well-known submissions management system). Websites consolidate, corporations start price-gouging with poor excuses, and suddenly holding space online becomes tied to someone else's profit incentive.We're here to share good writing with you, and money gets in the way (until we, you know, seize the websites or something). If you want to throw some dough our way, in any way you can think of, please know that it goes toward the next issue of Atticus Review. If you can't, I understand! But we don't get patronage from anyone other than our readers and writers. I believe, as I have said before here, that writing is a community endeavor. We are, all of us together, the only support system we have.Until then, I hope you keep writing. The world needs it.Peace,Keene ShortEditor-in-ChiefAtticus Review
