Support our mission by contributing a donation.
Tupelo Press is an award-winning independent literary press that provides a home for transcendent poetry, creative non-fiction, and fiction in books that are a delight both to hold and to read. We are a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and rely on public support to assist us in fulfilling our mission to publish extraordinary writing. Seventeen years and 150 books later, we remain committed to our readers, and to those writers we feel are best able to offer the gift of brilliant writing to the world.
I hope that as a fellow lover of literature, you will continue to share and support our commitment.
As a friend of Tupelo Press, your are an angel to writers and readers alike. We ask you to join our choir of angels and make it possible for us to continue bringing more of the divine into the world. Your generosity helps us keep the doors open; your partnership helps us fill the world with so much award-winning, life-changing beauty.
Think of the world without poets to transcribe the universe for us, or novelists and essayists to record our inner and outer landscapes -- to remind us who we are, and who we want to be. These are lofty notions, and we continue to rely upon you to support our good work here on earth where the bills are paid, so that we can continue to publish poems and stories, novels, essays and memoirs that add to the heartwood of our lives.
We invite you to help us continue this mission, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Donate to support a 30/30 Project Poet!
The 30/30 Project is an extraordinary challenge and fundraiser for Tupelo Press, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) literary press. Each month, volunteer poets run the equivalent of a “poetry marathon,” writing 30 poems in 30 days, while the rest of us “sponsor” and encourage them every step of the way.
