Our Current Fundraiser
In addition to private donations of all sizes and our two reading periods, founder/editrice Sandra Doller & vice-editor/designer Ben Doller keep 1913 Press running with personal funds from our university teaching jobs. We feel fortunate to be able to bring out exceptional cross-genre literary art works into the world.
Each year, we conduct a fundraiser via email, which has allowed us to publish the truly magnificent work in 1913 a journal of forms &1913 Press. This year, we are trying all sorts of new things. In addition to a web journal and more web content, we are crowdfunding for supporters to specifically fund our 2013-2014 season, which promises to be the most prolific and exciting yet.
Our goal of $25,000 will go directly to pay for printing costs for our always-beautiful, well-designed books by some of today’s most thrilling verbal artists. Those familiar with publishing know that it costs on average $3,000-$5,000 to print an economical run of 750-1000 copies of one book. This year, we are also publishing 2 full-color artists books by the incredible Mendi+Keith Obadike, 1 of which includes an audio CD.
Our perks for donors include everlasting gratitude, honorary status of “low modernist,” as well as some fantastic 1913 Press items from buttons to books.
If we do not reach our goal of $25,000, all funds donated will contribute to the printing costs for the first 3 books of our season: Monica Mody’s Kala Pani and Mendi+Keith Obadike’s Four Electric Ghosts and Big House/Disclosure.
If we reach our funding goal, we will be able to publish sooner rather than later this season’s remaining books by Brad Flis, Scott McFarland, Brenda Iijima, Sarah Riggs, Amaranth Borsuk & Kate Durbin, and the CA Conrad chapbook. We will also be able to publish a small print run of 1913 a journal of forms Issue 6, in addition to the web version.
