Quality, Sustainable, Independent Publishing

Sequestrum‘s mission is to be an affordable, sustainable home to quality literature. Rather than charge a set sticker price per issue, we offer a unique, pay-what-you-can subscription format.

We only ask that you’re honest in selecting your subscription level. Whether someone makes nine figures or nine dollars an hour, we keep our rates reasonable so that everyone can enjoy outstanding, sustainable literature.

Subscriptions Details:

Subscribers may have one submission pending at any time. Response time is generally 2 months with an outside wait of six. Subscribers may withdraw and make new submissions at any time. Subscriptions reoccur at the rate and time frame selected at checkout. Sequestrum is a pay-what-you can journal; all subscriptions come with equal digital access.
