Support for Swell Magazine

Swello, there! A collective of freelance-based creators have come together to produce a digital and printed publication of our work centered loosely around the theme—“Contagious”—in our inaugural issue of Swell Magazine.

In this publication, contributors have generously shared their stories, artwork, ideas, and experiences that will resonate with anyone who has a creative DIY spirit. Pieces featured in the magazine include personal essays, poetry, photography, a movie script, illustrations, graphic designs, and so much more. While many of Swell’s contributors hail from the Midwest (or have connections to the region), we proudly collaborated to include women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and additional communities of underrepresented voices and talents from across the U.S.

This project is four years in the making, but it is well worth the wait. While we finish putting the final touches on this labor of love, we are seeking your financial support to assist with printing costs. We hope to have the final, long-awaited debut issue of Swell completed this Spring with digital and physical copies available for your viewing pleasure.

Thank you for your support.
