“Hypertext granted me my first publication, and thanks to their support and recommendation the story actually went on to win an award with PEN America. They take chances on new writers to publish bold and evocative work - publishers like them make an invaluable contribution to the arts.” —Verity McKay

“Hypertext published one of my first pieces online and in print. Not only did I receive a stipend, but I was able to hold the journal. Nothing beats a beautiful literary magazine filled with brave, raw, thought-provoking work.” — Kathleen Quigley

For the past 15 years, donations from our readers and contributors have kept Hypertext’s doors open and allowed us to publish fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and author interviews. It's also allowed us to pay contributors a small stipend for their work.

In light of arts funding cuts, however, we need your help to continue this important work.
