I Want to Give Someone a $6 Bailout Package
The economy doesn’t look good, but I have a plan.
I have $6 left in my PayPal Account Balance. I used to have more money, but I used that money to purchase many things: the first issue of The Open Face Sandwich, a chapbook from Octopus Books, some subscriptions to literary journals, Shane Jones’ novel from Publishing Genius, and stuff like that.
I would like to give away that $6 to someone or some press or some journal or something. It is not a lot of money, I understand, and I would like to receive something in return, preferably a chapbook, or a book, or some other neat trinket. I know that is a lot to ask for.
The idea is that I could then read that chapbook or journal back issue or whatever and talk about it in another post to promote literature and the economy and capitalism and other American things.
I guess this is like a reverse auction?
I am interested in these places:
Jaguar Uprising
Paper Hero Press
FuturePoemBooks
Ugly Duckling Presse
Chiasmus Press
Future Tense Books
Black Ocean Press
I am going to stop listing things, because it is time for bed. I realize that $6 might not cover the full cost of whatever. I hope that is not an insult. It is all the money I have right now in the account. At least someone will make a sale?
At least one unit will move, I guess?
I am also up for suggestions? Please, tell me about a cool thing I can read that I might have missed, preferably something that looks nice and I can touch in a nice way as I read it.

I wrote a story called:
I work in coffee shop and began stapling a copy of my college degree to every receipt because I don’t want to feel worthless and am tired of the people thinking they’re superior even though I am bad at writing cover letters and making connections and getting jobs in general, but after a few days of doing it I started to feel sad and even more pathetic and thought, “I should just start smoking cigarettes so I can take more breaks,” then things got more depressing because I stapled the hard copy of my degree onto the receipt of someone who ordered a venti carmel macchiato with skim milk and two and a half equal.
It doesn’t exist anywhere but on my computer. I can not sell you my computer for $6
For $6 I will let you put anything you want on the front page of everydayyeah.com for an indefinite amount of time no less than one day in a space of 700X200 px
