Back Hermitsh and you earn votes — each $1 is one vote toward one author in one language. Each week the top three picks go into translation.

Opens Monday, closes Sunday. The top three go into translation Monday.

How it works
  • Back the press. Your contribution funds Hermitsh — the site, the work, and the next translation. $3 minimum, non-refundable.
  • Earn votes. $1 = 1 vote. Your votes ride on one author and language — counted forever, until it's published.
  • Steer the queue. Each week's top three enter translation. Non-winners carry over, sticky, in perpetuity.
  • Money funds Hermitsh; votes steer what's next. The two are separate — the votes are your say, not a pre-purchase.

Find your author among the list, then vote — the board below shows only authors with votes.
