The Southern Review

To all of our LSU Giving Day supporters: Thank you so much for your generosity. Our campaign raised more than $33,000, and we surpassed our goal of 25 donors with a total of 32. We’re floored! Our profound gratitude goes out to everyone who donated to support the future of LSU Press and The Southern Review. We couldn’t do what we do without you.

Thank you so much for your support so far this Giving Day. We're at 23 donors and a total of $26,920 donated.

Please help us surpass our donor goal of 25 and unlock a $2,000 challenge gift from David and Trisha Cook by contributing any amount to a fund of your choice! Be one of ten donors before 6 p.m. to help us meet this goal!

Thank you so much to the 19 donors who have given a total of $24,120! We're so grateful for you. There's still time to help us reach our donor goal of 25 by making a gift of any amount to the fund of your choice. Support our ability to continue publishing engaging, relevant, and challenging literature year after year—including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and translation from the best established and emerging writers.

Your generosity will help fund our Southern Review Fund, which provides unrestricted, flexible support for the Southern Review, enabling us to publish both emerging and established authors, as well as market the journal more broadly than we otherwise would be able to do.

Please consider donating if you can.

We'd like to congratulate our former coeditor and prose editor, Emily Nemens, on the publication of her latest novel, "Clutch." Nemens will be returning to Louisiana in April to read at the Delta Mouth Literary Festival in Baton Rouge and the Garden District Book Shop in Uptown New Orleans, where she will be in conversation with Joshua Wheeler. We can't wait to see you, Emily!
