Membership

Membership is love. It keeps Litmus publishing ambitious and boundary-pushing work, supports our authors, editors, and translators with fair wages and honoraria, and sustains the small-press traditions and communities we inherit and extend. And you won’t miss a thing.

 

Memberships may be purchased as gifts. Gift recipients receive all corresponding benefits, communications, and acknowledgments for the duration of the membership year.
