Support the Light. Fuel the Story.
Porchlight is more than a publication — it’s a home for familiar and emerging Southern voices, a platform for underrepresented storytellers, and a community rooted in the rich, evolving tradition of Southern literature.
But none of it is possible without you.
We rely on the generous support of our readers, subscribers, and patrons to keep the porch light burning. Your donation helps us:
- Publish bold, original work by Southern writers
- Offer affordable editorial services to help new voices grow
- Run writing contests and author interviews that educate and inspire
- Keep our platform accessible and inclusive to all
Every dollar goes directly toward sustaining and expanding our mission. Whether you’re able to give a little or a lot, your contribution has a lasting impact on the future of Southern storytelling.
