Help Support the Erie Reader! 

Since 2010, The Erie Reader has been Erie's only local, free, independent source for news, arts, and culture.  Our small but tenacious team of writers, editors, artists, and photographers is supported by contributions from members of the Erie Reader community.  

While the Erie Reader is and always will be free to read, we would love to give our readers more by offering a monthly membership. With a contribution of $15 (or more) a month, our members receive: 

-An exclusive, super cool, members-only newsletter  

-Early access to the monthly issue PDF two days prior to public distribution

-Discounts on Erie Reader events

-Exclusive giveaways like community sports and theater event tickets with our sponsorship partners  

-The Erie Reader print edition delivered to your door 

-And other perks!
