We're teaming with this week's sponsor Seattle Arts & Lectures to give away tickets to see Annie Proulx talk on June 23rd, along with a copy of her upcoming book Barkskins. It's easy to enter — just head to our sponsor's page, and click the link to join our mailing list.

Have you seen Seattle Arts & Lectures upcoming season? It's a stellar lineup, from Ann Patchett to Seattle's own Timothy Egan, Helen Macdonald, Ben Fountain, Bryan Stevenson, and Helen Oyeyemi in the Litarary\Arts series, and in Poetry: Claudia Rankine, Ada Limôn, Rachel Zucker, Ross Gay, Ellen Bass, and Alice Notley. We're so excited to see the people they have coming to town.

We have only four sponsor slots left, before August. If you're a small publisher, writer, poet, or foundation that is looking to back our work, and advertise your own in an inexpensive and expressive way, take a look at our open dates. We'd love to talk to you about opportunities to sponsor us. It's our way of making internet advertising something to look forward to.
