When you donate, you make a real investment in the Missouri Review‘s mission.

It is a fact: your donation to the Missouri Review helps support our magazine, our abilities to change with the times, our interns, and our contributors and readers.

This last year has brought all of us a number of challenges, some beyond the imagination. Yet during quieter moments we at TMR feel an enormous gratitude for our submitters, subscribers, and donors.

Our staff spends part of our day reading submissions to the magazine, and we often remark on the top-quality work we receive—now more than ever. I mention this because we all find this abundance of great literature heartening. In 2020, our number of worldwide reads on Project Muse of Johns Hopkins increased to nearly twice the number of any other year, and continued to grow during 2021. Those reads have tapered off in ways that mirror the larger trends of the literary marketplace, but Project MUSE remains an important way of furthering our authors readership. It reminds us that our ability to create art and exercise our imaginations continues to be one of our best defenses against the difficulties we face.

While these are indeed challenging times for the arts and university budgets, we are committed to securing the financial health of TMR so the magazine is not vulnerable to uncertainties. Your gift to the Missouri Review will help us remain a stable quarterly print and online publication. It will continue to allow us to discover the finest work without regard to an author’s fame or previous reputation. It also helps us to carry on our mission of teaching the next generation of editors through our competitive internship program. Every little bit helps.

Warmly, and with deep gratitude,
The Editors
