Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 2

“The compensation of the Executive Editor and the Editor-in-Chief was reviewed by the Board of Directors in a break-out session. The Board considered comparable compensation information of other literary non-profit organizations and as further expounded upon in the Annual Compensation Survey prepared by the Board Governance Committee in 2013. It was noted that levels of compensation have not changed significantly since the Compensation Survey was prepared and the proposed compensation amounts are well within the range of compensation levels noted in the survey, particularly as given Narrative's lean staff, the co-founders function in multiple professional roles, including that of publisher, editorial and development.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The compensation of the Executive Editor and the Editor-in-Chief was reviewed by the Board of Directors in a break-out session. The Board considered comparable compensation information of other literary non-profit organizations and as further expounded upon in the Annual Compensation Survey prepared by the Board Governance Committee in 2013. It was noted that levels of compensation have not changed significantly since the Compensation Survey was prepared and the proposed compensation amounts are well within the range of compensation levels noted in the survey, particularly as given Narrative's lean staff, the co-founders function in multiple professional roles, including that of publisher, editorial and development.
