We have just a few rules in the Territory:
- Good work deserves good money.
- Good work deserves your full attention.
- Good work deserves to be brought to life.
We are grateful to each individual who backs The New Territory as a patron or donor. We get to pay contributors and print all our work without ads because of their generous contributions.
Back us now on our Patreon page.
Starting at $2/month
More about our patron options:
The New Territory is the publication showcasing life in the Lower Midwestern states as creative, inclusive and inspiring.
To elevate voices of a region that has too-long gone unnoticed, we rely on individuals to help support our contributors and printing costs. One Friend pays for a short story, four images, or a good chunk of one feature story.
We also offer bulk subscriptions and discounts on back issues.
