“I want the time and space to think and read, and to look at and make things; I want unbroken days so I can write with a clear head; to reread your essay, to read myself into it before I edit it. I want to get paid a bit more for a bit less done better, with more care, and I want the same for my friends and strangers. I want to discuss what I’m doing and thinking about with thoughtful people; I want my work to amount to something solid, not scatter out in multitasked busyness.”

Triple Canopy's editors and designers have spent the past year refining what we do while carefully planning an ambitious redesign of our online platform. As dedicated readers, you’ve been eager participants in this process, offering suggestions and feedback at public discussions, neighborhood bars—and, yes, via online polls. We asked, “If you were to build an entire structure, online and off, from the ground up, to support the way you want to work and support the work you want to make, what precisely would it be?” We think we have some answers. And we think that TC 3.0, as we’re calling it, will not only revolutionize Triple Canopy’s work on the Web but forge meaningful connections between print publications and live programming, and so illuminate the entire sphere of our activities.

Last April we launched Refresh, a campaign to raise $100,000 in support of 3.0 by July 1st. To date, more than $80,000 has been pledged by our board of directors and other donors. Now, with just two weeks left, we’re looking to readers to help close the gap. TC 3.0 is all about seeking to understand and enrich the relationships between writing code and reading poetry, between user interfaces and printed pages, between social media and public space. It’s about innovating on our own terms—and, we hope, on your terms. And now its success is incumbent on your support.

Add your name to our list of generous supporters by making any size donation by July 1st.
