In a world where fewer people value books and literary culture, Lit Hub readers are the exception. We’re one of the few remaining outlets still covering the literary world, and that’s because readers like you chose to support us by becoming Lit Hub members.
Lit Hub members get plenty of benefits—an exclusive newsletter, an ad-free version of the site, our iconic Joan Didion tote bag, and more. Support from our members keeps Lit Hub afloat so we can serve those 16% of Americans who still value reading and literature.
