This week begins the Monthly’s annual pledge drive.

The Monthly is a nonprofit organization. We have print and online ads, but these only covers a small part of our expenses, which means that we depend on contributions from readers to stay running. So, I hope we can count on your support.

We sincerely appreciate those of you who’ve already shown generous support, and hope other readers will take a moment to help out. You can donate online, through PayPal, or through the mail.

Thank you.
