How Quibble is Funded

Quibble is self-funded - with community contributions providing essential fuel to our mission.

For four years, we have operated at a loss, with our founder personally covering the gap between what we earn and what it costs to keep going

We believe in this work and the people it serves, and your support helps makes it possible.

Founded in 2022, Quibble Lit champions emerging and established voices and help their work find an audience. Quibble Lit brings writers, artists, and readers together through print and online publishing, podcasts, and opportunities to create and connect.

Your support makes room for more

Your gifts help cover the everyday costs of publishing and producing Quibble—and give us room to grow: a bigger platform for our contributors, more writing programs and opportunities, and more readings, workshops, and community events.

Every gift helps us continue this mission and build a stronger homebase and production for independent literature.

Why Share This?

We’re sharing our finances not for praise, but for perspective.
Transparency helps:

  • Demystify how small literary presses operate —

  • Encourage others to start their own creative projects —

  • Model how honesty and growth can go hand in hand —

If this helps even one writer, editor, or artist feel more prepared — or a little braver — about starting something of their own, then it’s worth it.

Thank you to everyone for being here, reading, and your support!
