The Fine Print
The NC discussions are open to anyone. It's a friendly place, easy to join. Just sign in on the comment box with your email address and write your comment. If you stick around, people will get to know you and you're in (except, of course, for the usual credit and criminal record checks, birth and citizenship authentication, school transcripts starting from kindergarten, photocopies of tax records, ID, credit cards, debit cards, etc.). If you turn up often and seem to get the drift of the magazine, you'll be invited to submit. Please respect the generally high level of camaraderie and amiability already in evidence.
The management wishes to acknowledge the financial support of Douglas "Deep-Pockets" Glover and no one else.
Excellent!
Thanks for this and the other posts on the crossroads publishing faces these days. Self-publishing makes more and more sense. And I’m intrigued by the United Artists approach Atwood mentions.
Margaret Atwood is a great example of an older, established writer who is embracing this brave new world with joy. That’s rare, and I admire that. Thanks for posting.
I love this. I love Margaret Atwood. Sometimes I forget that amazing and famous authors are real live human beings. Yet there she is. I also feel compelled to take this small comment space to mention that Mark Jarman wrote a story, “Love Is All Around Us,” included in his collection, 19 Knives, that I feel every Atwood lover should read.
