Embody

A home for nonfiction prose about the grueling, exhilarating, essential business of finding peace (or not) with the bodies we inhabit, considering age, sexuality, race, ability, gender identity, size, athleticism, addiction, illness, and the experience of occupying unfamiliar, hostile, and wonderful spaces.

Community Supported Literature

We believe that quality literature, like wholesome food, is worth paying for, and that writers, like farmers, should be compensated for their labor. We also believe that economic pressure should never pose a barrier to accessing or contributing to contemporary literature.

In the spirit of farms’ community supported agriculture (CSA) programs, we’ve launched a Community Supported Literature (CSL) program in lieu of subscription fees. We kindly ask readers to donate what they can through our CSL program as we strive to compensate writers, editors, and artists for their work.
