It was a big deal when we were finally able to start paying our contributors — good writing matters and has value — even though the amount ($25) was small. Well, we’re excited to announce that we’re raising our rate to $50, effective immediately!

Is it still too small? Yes. Does it demonstrate our unwavering belief that, again, good writing matters and has value? We hope so.

We also hope it shows you what a difference your financial support makes. Without the ongoing generosity of our amazing donors, we couldn’t keep the lights on, let alone pay our freelancers for the important work they do. We’re so grateful you’re in this with us!
