Description

Support writers and artists in our community! Subscriptions go toward contributors, community funds, and sustaining the ongoing efforts of Exponent II. Print subscriptions — our most popular and recommended option — continue a quarterly tradition since 1974 and include a free digital subscription.

A single print issue is typically 48 pages and includes 8-10 personal essays, poetry, and our features: Sabbath Pastorals, Women’s Theology, Artist Interviews, and more. We are extremely proud of the art — all by women and gender minorities along the Mormon spectrum — that works in conversation with the essays, and we use a high-quality, no-waste local printer that highlights the beauty of the artwork. The articles are carefully gathered and arranged to create a narrative from beginning to end. This results in a dialogue within every issue as articles speak to one another and spark new ideas and meanings. What does the magazine experience have to offer that’s worth the cost of a subscription? See for yourself by previewing the magazine here.
