Saint Paul Almanac

In telling and sharing important, often untold stories of underrepresented BIPOC communities, Saint Paul Almanac strives to build and sustain community across our diverse, unique cultures by promoting understanding, relationships, and collaborative action. We have been doing this critical work since 2005, making 2025 our 20th anniversary -- a momentous milestone we are marking by publishing Volume 14 of Saint Paul Almanac. This print edition will be available for purchase in October 2025 and our Community Editors are already reviewing poetry and prose submissions.

Production costs for a book like this, as well as the costs associated with editing, designing, and distribution, are steep (tens of thousands of dollars) and that's why our focus for Give to the Max Day this year is simple: Help Us Publish the 20th Anniversary Edition of Saint Paul Almanac.

Books are precious objects, sacred in some cultures, and the Almanac is no exception. It's a book that captures the spirit of our region and its wonderfully diverse inhabitants. It's an artifact that preserves what it's like to live HERE, in this moment in time. Without your generous donation, this book might not come into being. Think of the stories you are helping share with readers and the writers who will see their words on the page, some for the very first time. 

We invite you to be a part of this special publication by contributing whatever you are able on this Give to the Max Day!
