Support WTAW Press

SUPPORT US

In these times, it’s the independent book publishers who are doing the important work of keeping the literary arts alive. Since its inception in December 2015 and publication of its first books in 2017, WTAW Press has remained a fiercely independent press, dedicated to discovering, publishing, and championing voices and stories that readers are unlikely to encounter and have the opportunity to appreciate in mainstream corporate publishing.

We're proud of our books, authors, and programs—including our new imprints Alcove Chapbooks and Betty. Establishing the annual Kevin McIlvoy Book Prize has brought us joy. As a micro, volunteer-driven nonprofit organization, we've accomplished so much on our shoestring budget, but we couldn't have done it without support. Your support.

Please help us continue to do the good work of building and fostering inclusive literary community through our book publishing imprints and programs. Any amount you can contribute to our work will be significant to us. Your donation can be made, with our gratitude, here. You can also elect to support us through our new subscription program.

WTAW has established a new support/subscription program: Be a trailblazer with us!

We hope you will partner with us to reach our goals to publish and support books that matter—books that inspire, move, compel, and entertain. To discover and to champion voices from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. In preparation for the many new WTAW books to come in the 2024-2026 seasons, we are doing something new by offering this subscription program.

Call it an investment in great mail days to come while showing your support and investment in WTAW's future.

Books will be mailed upon publication dates. Every support/subscription option includes a tax-deductible donation. Book cover prices and shipping costs will be subtracted from your chosen subscription package, and the remainder of your subscription/donation will be tax deductible.

Donations above $1000 should be made using the Donate button below, or by check. Checks should be made out to WTAW Press, and mailed to WTAW Press, PO Box 2825, Santa Rosa, CA 95405.

As always, you are welcome to donate to WTAW outside of the subscription program and have the entire amount of your gift be tax deductible.

Support/subscription program options—how it works.

Donation Period: Nov. 28, 2023 through Jan. 15, 2024

We're thrilled to offer our first subscription program, which promises great mail days wherever you are. Please join us in supporting literary book publishing, the literary arts, and the building of literary community by subscribing/supporting to WTAW Press at one of the following levels of subscription packages.

You can make an alternative donation by using our donate button below. WTAW Press is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so all donations are tax deductible.
