Magazine Fundraising

LessWrong reports that The New Critic, a Gen Z longform magazine on Substack, is raising five thousand dollars per essay to fund ambitious reporting projects. The magazine describes itself as non-political and non-ideological, focusing on literary reportage where writers meet their subjects in person. The campaign is hosted on Manifund, and the editors are seeking support for specific assignments, including potential profiles and essay batches. The funding covers commission, travel, lodging, and editorial overhead for each essay, with the goal of developing extraordinary young writers and addressing pressing questions of young people in the U.S.
