Eckleburg’s Adopt a Writer/Artist Program Is a Great Success!

We are excited to announce that our new Eckleburg Adopt a Writer/Artist Program has been a great success at The Doctor T. J. Eckleburg Review. Readers have individually made gifts from $10 to $100 per short story, poem, creative nonfiction and more. Each time a gift is made, the individual participating contributor makes 60% of the gift, deposited into his or her PayPal account in seconds! Eckleburg absorbs the PayPal fees.

At Eckleburg, our editors are also writers, authors and artists, and it is our wish and honor to pass along such unprecedented commissions to our contributors. Signing up is super easy and secure. Contributors simply provide their preferred PayPal email and we do the rest. Neither Eckleburg nor the reader has access to any contributor financial information at anytime, which is the beauty of using PayPal. Once signed up, any gifts made through the contributor’s page will immediately attribute 60% of the gift directly to the contributor’s PayPal account in a secure transaction that completes within seconds. (First time gifts made through a contributor’s page may take a few hours for processing.) Literally, our contributors have made anywhere from $6 to $60 in single reader donations.

Please spread the word of Eckleburg’s Adopt a Writer/Artist Program. Support the arts community by caring and sharing.

Sincerely,

Rae Bryant

The Editors

Eckleburg was founded in 2010 as an online and print literary and arts journal. We take our title from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and include the full archives of our predecessor Moon Milk Review. Our aesthetic is eclectic, literary mainstream to experimental. We appreciate fusion forms including magical realist, surrealist, meta- realist and realist works with an offbeat spin. We value character-focused storytelling and language and welcome both edge and mainstream with punch aesthetics. We like humor that explores the gritty realities of world and human experiences. Our issues include original content from both emerging and established writers, poets, artists and comedians such as authors, Roxane Gay, Rick Moody, Cris Mazza, Steve Almond, Stephen Dixon, poets, Moira Egan and David Wagoner and actor/comedian, Zach Galifianakis.
