Subscriptions are free but donations are welcome. (Friendly reminder that F2P accounts cannot receive mail and thus are unable to receive a subscription.)
Due to restrictions in mail sending capacity, we will pause your subscription if you have not checked your mail and picked up the previous issue. If you would like to receive the next issue, please do remember to collect your mail! Thank you for your understanding!

Sponsorship
Since its inception, Berries & Ink has been a labor of love, fueled by the passion of dedicated contributors. With the exception of a couple of advertisements, the publication has been primarily supported by our enthusiasm for the arts. After a brief period of experimenting with nominal subscription cost, most of the subscribers are free and postage paid out of pocket.
For just 5,000 plat per issue, your name will be featured in the issue you sponsored! This is a great way to show your appreciation for our talented contributors and let them know you like their work! The funds will go towards writer compensation, postage and mail supplies, cupcakes, and hopefully in the future we can offer little prizes or things like that. Unlimited sponsorships are available, it'll just mean the writers end up getting more money if I have multiple sponsors that month.
To sponsor an issue, simply let us know your preferred month(s).
Please note that sponsorship is entirely optional! Even if we don’t receive any additional funding, we will continue to produce the high-quality content you’ve come to love. This opportunity is simply for those who wish to express their appreciation for Berries & Ink. By sponsoring Berries & Ink, you're directly supporting our talented contributors and helping us continue to produce high-quality content.
