pay book advances
help us take care of our book writers by paying them better and earlier
hire a full-time editor and webmaster
get someone to help us with the website and with books, whom we can demand does good work because, you know, we're paying him / her

Comics and popular culture get more respect today than ever before. Yet they still lack a culture of smart criticism, and few are taking them seriously as legitimate forms of art.
Sequart Organization has been fighting this battle for almost two decades. And we're winning.
Through a website with daily content, over 20 books in print, and several documentary films, Sequart Organization wants everything it does to educate, stir thought, and be accessible to a general audience. Yes, we're scholars, but we're not snooty about it. We want you to be able to show us to your friends and say, "See? This is why comics and popular culture matter. They can be every bit as deep as Shakespeare or anything else."
Running a website and a book line and a movie line takes a huge amount of time and money. Google ads don't pay the bills, and 2000-word articles on comics (that take hours or even days to write) can't compete for impressions with 200-word reports of movie gossip or celebrity wardrobe malfunctions.
We need to pay editors if we're going to grow, and we want to pay more writers too. Your contribution will help keep us independent. It will help free us to focus on growing Sequart. It will allow us to expand our offerings online. And it will also help compensate our regular website writers.
