Support
Desire Lines Collective is a sponsored project of Mockingbird Incubator and relies on your support to bring our mission to life. We are committed to keeping all of our online content free for members, but this relies on the support of our sustaining members.
When you become a sustaining member, you’re supporting free community access to online content, fee waivers for workshops and events, free and year-round submissions, and importantly, ensuring every Desire Lines contributor is paid for their work.
While our work is dedicated to elevating women, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming mountain writers and artists, memberships are open to everyone! Not only will you be able to enjoy high-quality literature, photos, and art created by diverse storytellers, but you will also find valuable craft tips, recommended readings, and resource lists for writers of all backgrounds and experience levels while helping to elevate the work of underrepresented creatives.
“Everyone deserves to have the opportunity to write about their passions for the mountains. I’m happy to know that Desire Lines Collective is there to help encourage cutting-edge athletes, scientists, and underrepresented storytellers who can bring a new perspective about the people and places we love.”
