Dear friends of literature in America, we NEED help. We are asking you to donate what you can to help us with operating funds, which includes printing, shipping, distributing and advertising costs, for our independent literary magazine, Cutthroat, a Journal of the Arts. This is our 20 Year Anniversary. In 2025, we published and released a 416-page anthology called TAKING LIBERTIES, featuring poetry, short stories, nonfiction, book reviews, and art work from 112 writers and visual artists. Our funding comes almost solely from donations. To keep the cost of the anthology down so that readers can afford it, we make $1 profit on each copy sold. None of our selfless editors are paid. We all donate our time and caring. Karen Auvinen, Sophia Engrenn, Howie Faerstein, CMarie Fuhrman, Teri Hairston, Richard Jackson, J. Drew Lanham, Mark Lee, Jesse Tsinijinnie Maloney, Timoth Rien, William Pitt Root, Pamela Uschuk, and Patricia Jabbeh Wesley edit Our editorial staff is truly multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi gender. We are dedicated to equity and the importance of identity, and freedom of speech as well as democracy. All Cutthroat's editors & staff work with no pay because they are committed to providing this venue for writers, to promoting free expression and the literary arts in our nation. This is a labor of great love. We humbly ask you to help us by giving us any size donation! We need to raise $7500 in all. We've raised just over a quarter of that so far. You may choose to donate a lump sum or subscribe with a small monthly donation. Over the years we have published thousands of writers, from the famous to the unknown of all ages, all genders, all races, all abilities and cultures, and, with your help, we pledge to continue to do so.
