How It Works

Because we’re a digital-only publication, the lion’s share of our budget goes to the folks who make FQJ possible – the writers, the photographers, the editors and the support team.

We rely on Annual Sponsors and our Readers’ Circle for the entirety of that annual creative budget. We very much appreciate our Annual Sponsors and give them lots of perks and shameless favoritism to show it. And while we love all our readers, we’re mightily beholden to the Readers’ Circle, whose contributions help us meet our modest annual budget goals.

Thank you all.

You're making it possible for us to document the precious backstories of the Quarter and its surrounds, telling the stories that might otherwise be lost to time. You’re helping young local writers and photographers establish quality publishing creds and you’re giving veteran correspondents an enthusiastic audience that’s not hamstrung by firewalls. Big bonus for readers: Our uncluttered website design makes visiting us a rare and rejuvenating internet experience.
