Because of support from folks like you, Omnidawn will continue to publish works of literary insight and cultural vitality. We seek work that engages the intellect and inspires both courage and compassion—work that helps to foster a climate in which the dawning of new ideas is possible.

Your gift will help to maintain an environment where lively creative work can thrive. We welcome and appreciate your support at any level. All contributions will go directly to our continued publication of innovative, thought-provoking writing.

  • Publishing culturally engaging works in high-quality, carefully designed editions that fulfill each author’s vision for the book
  • Supporting our authors and engaging the community through reading parties and author events throughout the country, which are free to attend
  • Keeping the costs of contest submissions affordable and ensuring the presence of a dedicated, open-minded editorial staff in order to support emerging writers finding their voice in the literary community
  • Monthly publications of our literary journal, OmniVerse, which showcases new poetry and cross-genre work, interviews, and essays from the diverse poetic/creative arts community beyond Omnidawn’s own publications
