We appreciate anything you can do to spread the word about Deep Wild Journal to like-minded lovers of wild places and good words. We are a not-for-profit enterprise that depends on subscriptions and donations for our existence. Forwarding our social media posts–Facebook, Blog, and Instagram–is one good way to help. Purchasing a gift subscription for a friend or making a one-time donation (see link below) are others.

Our goal each year is to expand the Deep Wild vision in some new ways–and to pay our bills. In 2023, we awarded $600 in prize money to three students in our annual no-fee Student Writing Contest and paid our artists and contest judges. And despite rising postage and production costs, we have kept our price for the journal the same.
