Our Mission Statement
A long, long time ago, perhaps before you were born: a secret society was formed with the utmost veneration in a Capitol Hill piano bar – once frequented by Jack Kerouac and other renowned, burned out writers – called Charlie Brown’s. This society’s members would personally ignore all facets of reality: poverty, the twenty-first century, incompetence, decided lack of fame – for the preference of obvious and belligerent cultural superiority. For these writers, photographers, artists and filmmakers, are better than you – I daresay, they are better than themselves – for if God himself were to put before them his Master Plan, they certainly would call it “hoary,” “too mainstream,” or “poorly executed.” Two and a half stars, they would give God Himself, because they worship Snobliness over Godliness: they are the quintessential elitist hipster snobs, and they write here. In Snob we trust.

- Jason Heller, the Onion A.V. Club
“More power to the Donnybrook Writing Academy. Long may it continue to snob its winks.”

“Endearing quirkiness, elegant style and smart sense of humour: the sort of thing that might be rampant if the USA had remained a colony. Maybe.”

Why “A society for cultural advancement”?
It’s true, we could just buy ourselves an island and ignore the rest of this pitiful world. However, as much as it might not seem like it at times, we do really care for the peasants. Like a good 12th century monarch, we invest in the advancement of society because we know it will keep us in power easier than if we were to hoard all this knowledge, which would undoubtedly incite an uprising.
