The Florida Review is having trouble staying afloat, due to recent budget cuts.
It is still unclear whether The Florida Review will receive money next year, but this time Leiby said they will be prepared if they do not receive the money. Leiby has already begun work on grant applications and has plans to increase the subscription base as well. Without UCF’s regular contribution, subscriptions were responsible for paying the entire cost of the fall and spring issues, Leiby said. Donations will help to pay for future issues.
They are having a fee-paying contest to help raise funds.
