Like the first, it will include a diverse and lively mix of established authors and newcomers. Some of the work we'll feature in the second issue is playful, some serious, and some dangerous, but all of it is fresh, unexpected, rich, and engaging. Unstuck is a volunteer-edited c 3. It's also completely independent. While that means we have the freedom to publish the work that excites us, it also means that, unlike many thriving print journals, we lack the support of a college or university.
Our journal is priced so that just about any reader can afford it, and we don't intend to change that. We also set aside a portion of each print run to donate to libraries and literacy programs. At Unstuck , we want to discover, share, and encourage great new writing. For the writers whose work we accept, encouragement comes in the form of a close editing relationship, publication and promotion, and a monetary payment.
But the many other writers who submit their work to us are also part of our community, and we owe them professionalism and respect. We've made a firm commitment never to charge submission fees, whether for ordinary submissions or for special contests.
We also do our best to respond to unsolicited submissions as quickly as possible while giving each piece an attentive and open-minded reading. We're delighted that you've found our Kickstarter page, and we hope that you'll join us and support our mission, whether as a donor or a subscriber. And if you enjoy the work we're doing, please spread the word about our Kickstarter campaign; every little bit of help makes a difference. Questions about this project?

For our top reward this year, we've come up with something really unusual. This book will include a few of the best and weirdest food-related stories and poems we've published in our first three volumes.
It will also feature some new drawings by Matthew Domiteaux who, by the way, used to be a chef. We're going to print and bind, at most, ten copies of this collectible book. Every one of them will be numbered and unique, made by hand by Associate Editor Janalyn Guo. You can see some of Janalyn's beautiful books in the photos below, and in the video above.
The backer reward books will vary as dramatically as the books in these pictures: The only thing that all ten books will have in common is the content. If your backer reward includes a PDF edition, you'll have the option of switching to one of these other formats. Any funds we raise beyond that point will be used to expand our print run and our distribution, through Ingram, to North American bookstores , and perhaps to give some sort of payment to a few of the people, like our illustrator, who have donated their work for the past few years.
We're an independent, volunteer-driven c 3 nonprofit, so certain donations may be tax-deductible. Our books are edited by working writers and artists, and funded by people like you. We're grateful for your interest in what we do, and we look forward to telling you some unforgettable stories. Publishing in print rather than on the web certainly adds a lot of expense, and requires careful coordination with more outside parties, like printers, mailing houses, and distributors.
Nevertheless, we love being a part of print culture, and enjoy the work that it involves.
