The Campaign for Ballyhoo Stories

Over the last year Ballyhoo Stories has been funded by the editors. As we begin our second year in print and online, we'd like to ask our fellow members of the literary community for financial support so we can continue to bring you the best in contemporary fiction from writers like Amy Brill, Lara Tupper, Michael Hartford, and Tom Whalen. We love writers and fiction as much as you do, which is why we pay to publish writers out of our own pocket. The easiest way for you to support Ballyhoo Stories and independent publishing is to subscribe. Subscriptions are available for $16 here. You can also pick up a back issue here, which we recommend for
anyone who might consider submitting.
