You may have noticed that big 2011 Annual Campaign banner at the top of our site is gone, and we want to especially thank everyone who contributed. Your generous gifts are going to help support both budding and established literary translators, great-but-hidden works of literature from around the world, outreach programs, literary translation proselytizing, and on, and on . . . Basically: These donations allow Three Percent and Open Letter to best do what we do best.

Finally: The big campaign banner might be gone, but if you missed it and still want to make a small gift — or get a jump on those 2012 tax deductions — . The annual campaign allows us a nice opportunity to collectively energize supporters, but donations made at any time are greatly valuable and profoundly appreciated.

We at Three Percent & Open Letter want to simply say: Thank you.

This may be the last message we’ll post about our 2011 Annual Campaign, and we want to use it to let you know that, by participating, you’re making a vital (and tax deductible) gift toward all of the nonprofit publishing, programing, and educational efforts here at Three Percent/Open Letter. And, even more, you’re joining us in helping to diversify our larger literary landscape.

We can’t thank you enough for your shared interest, support, and appreciation of how these many publications and programs make enriching contributions to our culture.

Finally, we have a challenge for all those who haven’t yet contributed: $10. It doesn’t seem like much, but when each of you just a little, the total effect is huge. Your gift really does make a outsized impact, far exceeding the simple dollar amount.

And, as a special incentive, 1 in every 10 donors (making a gift of any amount) will receive a free Open Letter book of their choice.

We ask that you’ll please join our campaign by quickly or by mailing back this .

Thanks, again, to all of you this holiday season!

Sincerely,
Chad W. Post
Publisher & Director
