dzanc does great things, including this:

"As we are all readers and lovers of great writing, the chance to have a compilation of essays that champion some of the great stories and story collections of our time, provides an invaluable tool to turn to when wondering what to read next. Dzanc Books - as part of its mission as a nonprofit 501(c)3 press dedicated to bringing literature and lit programs to a wider audience - will mail you a copy of these Short Story Month Essays for a minor tax deductible donation. On top of publishing great works of literary fiction, Dzanc Books provides workshops for students in the public schools free of charge. Our Dzanc Writers In Residency Programs matches writers with students whose schools do not otherwise provide students the opportunity to explore their own creative voices. Dzanc covers all expenses for these programs, which run several thousand dollars each. All monies donated to Dzanc for the purchase of our Short Story Month Essays will go 100% to our charitable programs which Dzanc conducts nationwide. A ten dollar donation will cover our costs (printing and shipping) on our SSME and, understanding these harsh economic times, we wont appeal to you for anything beyond which you can afford. We believe these essays provide insights and recommendation for books and authors which can be turned to again and again."
