The Conium Review: An Independent Literary Journal -- Indiegogo

About Us:

The Conium Review is a small press publication from Portland, Oregon. We publish poetry and fiction from local, national, and international authors. The first issue is due out in February, 2012. The issue will be roughly 150 pages with a full-color cover and professional binding.

Our Funding Goals:

The Basics:

Your donation supports independent writing and publishing, giving us the funds to...

Expand our distribution, getting the first issue into bookstores and libraries.

Support our podcast, featuring readings/interviews with authors/editors.

Host upcoming literature readings/workshops.

In More Detail:
We use online technology to stay in touch with our readers, but we are firm believers in the importance of print media, bookstores, and libraries. Our current budget lets us fulfill pre-orders and maintain the website, but we need a little extra funding to print additional copies and expand into new bookstore distribution channels. In short, this campaign gets our print journal into the hands of more readers.

While the print edition is our main priority, this IndieGoGo campaign also gives us funds to continue podcast production and host readings in the community. If we exceed the funding goal, we can put the additional money toward CLMP dues, getting tables at conventions, upgrading our website, and marketing the issue.

Even $1 helps. Please support The Conium Review and independent publishing. Remember to tell your friends and spread the word on Facebook and Twitter.
