2026 End-of-Year Campaign
Help Us Publish Three Books in 2027
$20,000 by December 31 funds next year’s operations, three new book launches, and the open reading that finds the poets behind them.
$450raised so far
Goal: $20,000
Every gift between now and December 31 counts toward the 2027 season.
Where the $20,000 Goes
01
Three Book Launches
The Lost Stations, Field Sonnets, and A Field Guide to Disappeared Things, hand-bound and printed in limited editions of 250.
02
2027 Operations
Printing, binding, and the editorial hours it takes to read every manuscript that comes through our open reading.
03
Ongoing Programs
The LemonLight Prize, The Poetry Library, and a year-round reading period open to poets at every stage.
We are small on purpose, and we intend to last.
With gratitude,
G. K. Allum · Founding Editor & President
For Larger Gifts
Fund a full book, cover to cover.
A single title costs $3,500 to produce from manuscript to bound copy. A gift at that level covers the full production of one book and comes with acknowledgment in the book itself. Gifts of $5,000 or more can underwrite a fine art edition, hand-bound and placed as a keepsake with the press's sustaining supporters. We're also glad to talk through gifts of stock, a donor-advised fund, or a check by mail.
