Dear Faithful Readers and Wonderful Writers,

I've been thinking long and hard about how to bring a little economic support to Ekphrastic. I am dedicated to growing the audience and publishing outstanding writers. I dedicate between five and fifteen hours a week to the various tasks at hand, and cover maintenance costs as well. I refuse to demand submission fees from literary writers, who are already under-or-never paid, and I refuse to charge readers. I also refuse to put unsightly and jarring ads on the site promising youth, skinniness, better sex, etc. I do have a "give" option and in full disclosure, confess not once has this been used. 

I didn't expect The Ekphrastic Review to turn into such a vital force, and I want to give it as much time as it deserves. I do not want to bleed readers and writers who already give so much to the world on fumes of passion alone. 

So taking all this into account, I hope you will forgive me for shamelessly shilling my artwork on these pages. I think that by occasionally posting my small works, sold through Etsy and my home studio, they will find their way to a larger audience, and the occasional sale through the site will certainly help me keep up with things at this end.

I sell small mixed media collage paintings and also photography prints on Etsy. I have not been very consistent at Etsy and it struck me that this is a good way to potentially grow both places at once. 

So those of you who would like to own a curious piece of original art will get something interesting of your very own. 

I am offering all Ekphrastic readers and writers who choose something from my Etsy 25% off all purchases.

That's it. There's no obligation. You will occasionally endure a few images posted with a link to the Etsy shop. If you decide you'd like something, don't forget to use your coupon code. Small works and photography prices range from 50 to 250.
 
​Thank you all so much.

love, Lorette
