Now losing some of our last bookstores to the trials of 2020, Locus needs your support even more to keep publishing the high quality reviews, book and community news, and articles you read here. Our online readers (there are a lot of you!) could support everything Locus does, if each reader donated $5 once a year. But only 1% of our audience pitches in.
