As Us launched our first online issue December 31, 2012. In 2013 we will be working on fundraising for our print issues. We are committed to promoting the work of emerging and established Indigenous female writers, but we need your help.
We will be launching a kickstarter fundraising page in 2013 so be sure to keep an eye out for it and spread the word to other interested parties. If you would like to make a contribution via postal mail instead, please email us at as.us.journal@gmail.com for further details.
We are also working to promote the journal and our issue 1 contributors by having readings in the spring. If you would like to help us set up a reading in your area, have any contacts, or know of a space, bookstore, or organization who would be interested in hosting us please contact us via email.
Contact us if you would like to make a donation to our cause.
Thank you so much for your support!

I was certain I saw a contribution link on FB somewhere. Or maybe an address to send a check? I’ve been scrolling around like crazy, but can’t find it! Can y’all post so that I can send a contribution and also share how with others? Thanks! Looking forward to Issue 1!
Thanks Annette! We are currently setting up a donation site (i.e. Kickstarter) and will have info posted on that soon. We will message you privately a donation letter we are using for people who don’t want to pay online and would rather contribute a check. Thanks so much for your continuous support.
