Donor Information

Our goal is to discover and support writers of color. While there are hundreds of small presses and literary journals, there continues to be a need for venues that focus on minority communities. We are a nation of diverse voices with cultural experiences, yet so many authors of color with voices of merit continue to struggle to be heard and recognized. Backbone Press is a committed non-profit organization that seeks funding from grantors, public fundraisers, and private supporters. We are small, so all donations, in any amount, are huge and helpful. All donations are used to support the operations of the press.
