Help us get to 600! Kicking off our Speak the Sojourner subscriber drive

We have 133 subscribers currently.

In a world where many voices have been excluded or overlooked, Hinton Publishing is committed to changing the narrative. We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a subscription drive for our monthly literary eMagazine, Speak the Sojourner. This publication is dedicated to amplifying writers from communities that have historically been sidelined in the publishing world. For just $10 a month, you can join us in our mission to diversify the literary landscape and help bring powerful, transformative stories to a wider audience.

The Power of Diverse Voices

In these politically charged times, when the stories of so many are at risk of being silenced, it’s essential to create spaces where all authors can speak freely and authentically. Speak the Sojourner was created out of the belief that the literary world must reflect the rich diversity of experiences that shape our society. Our mission is simple: to showcase writers from communities that have long been excluded from mainstream publishing, including people of color, LGBTQIA+ authors, immigrants, disabled writers, and others whose voices are often underrepresented.

By subscribing to Speak the Sojourner, you are not only gaining access to an inspiring eMagazine, but you are also investing in the future of publishing. You are helping ensure that stories from those whose voices have too often been pushed aside are heard. These perspectives offer essential insights for navigating our complex world and striving for a more just society.

A Sustainable Future for Independent Publishing

To ensure that Hinton can continue to thrive, we need your support. Our goal is to reach 600 subscribers—just $10 a month from 600 readers will cover our base budget, allowing us to keep producing high-quality content. Every subscription directly supports the company’s operational needs, ensuring that our platform remains a sustainable home for voices that are too often overlooked by larger publishers.

But reaching 600 subscribers is only the beginning. The more support we receive, the more we can do. If we exceed our goal, we can pay the interns we work with whose labor makes our work possible, and allocate funds to adequately publicize the books we publish. Visibility is vital in the publishing world, and with your help, we can ensure that the authors we work with are seen and heard by a broader audience. We are committed not just to publishing these voices, but to making sure their stories reach the people who need them most.

Why Choose Speak the Sojourner?

Stories are powerful tools for change. They shape cultures, shift perceptions, and move society toward justice. But it is the stories from those who have been excluded or oppressed that can truly change the world.

As political repression intensifies in many places, the need for diverse voices is more urgent than ever. Whether it's a poem capturing the pain of displacement or a novel challenging the status quo, stories from communities that resist marginalization help light the way toward a more equitable future. At Hinton Publishing, we are proud to play a part in this movement, but we cannot do it without you.

Your $10 monthly subscription is an investment in social change. It is an investment in the kind of world we want to live in, where everyone’s story is valued. With your support, we can continue to build a publishing ecosystem that uplifts authors from all walks of life, ensuring their stories have the platform they deserve.
