Support the Millions

Dear Reader,

I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking, “I’ve been reading The Millions for a while now.  The site pays its staff writers; it keeps me informed on books, culture, and more; it makes me laugh; it makes me think; it covers this stuff even as similar coverage disappears from newspapers and magazines.  So how – how, I ask – can I Support The Millions, help them pay their writers, and keep the site up and running?”

Well, I’m glad you asked because we have no fewer than four (4) ways that you can do your part, and we’re certain one of those ways will suit you just fine.  Some of them require very little outlay of your hard-earned bucks.  Some require no cash at all.  None require more than a few moments of your time.

1. Donate: Not a big Amazon shopper? Prefer the local indie or the local library? No problem: You can still support The Millions by making a contribution to the site via Paypal.  No amount is too small. Just use the button at right.

2. Subscribe: Not really a lump sum kind of person? Would you prefer to dole out your support to The Millions in smaller bits so you can feel good about it all year? Now you can “subscribe,” using the button at right, to The Millions for the any of various monthly amounts, from $1.00 to $50.00. Easy! (Note that this isn’t a subscription in the traditional sense – there is no subscriber content – it’s merely a way of supporting the site in an ongoing fashion.)
