SUPPORT THE CHRONICLES

Help keep participation open.

The Chronicles is being built around a simple idea: creators should not have to pay for the chance to be read, seen, or taken seriously.

No submission feesSupport helps keep the submission door open without charging creators to enter.
Contributor compensationOur long-term model includes stipends or other compensation for creative and service contributions when resources allow.
Accessible publishingHosting, accessible production, web infrastructure, and future formats all require sustained resources.
Community infrastructureSupport helps sustain the tools and spaces that let creators, readers, illustrators, editors, and supporters work together.

INDEPENDENCE

Support does not buy editorial influence.

Supporting the journal is a community contribution, not a vote on what gets accepted, revised, featured, or published. Editorial decisions remain separate from supporter status.

BE PART OF IT

Support can be more than money.

People can help by reading, giving feedback, illustrating, making art, sharing expertise, helping build community, or supporting the journal’s sustainability. The contributor system is designed to recognize that broader participation.
