New Discussions Area
Subscribers,
I hope all is well. We are always busy working to find ways to provide greater value for our paid subscribers. To that end, we have added an online discussion area. (Password "xxxxxxx") Like everything we do, this is a work in progress that we will look to improve and refine over time. Of course, we will notify you of changes as they happen. We have also changed the password for our "back issues" page.
Print+Digital Subscriptions
It’s official, after many years as a digital only literary magazine, we shipped our first print magazine subscriptions to people’s homes! Who is subscribing? Professors, writers, parents, and thoughtful people who support civilized discourse.
Print Back Issues Available Now!
As you may have heard we are starting a print+digitial version of our magazine subscription for $12.95 a month. As a value added, we decided to back-convert all the 2022 digital magazines to print versions and make them available for sale.
A "Fermi estimate" thought experiment about how many unsubsidized literary magazines the subscriber market can actually support. Hint, it's less than you think...
I should start by saying this thought experiment is more a Fermi estimate than a rigorous review. That said, the main thing that struck me is how many wonderful, and important, literary magazines had circulations much smaller than I expected.
2022 Pushcart Nominations
One of the coolest things we get to do each year, is nominate stories we have published for awards. We just submitted the following stories we have (or will publish) for the Pushcart Prize.
Gearing Up For Print Subscriptions
A few months ago we did a survey of our digital subscribers to find out how many of them would prefer reading a print version of our monthly magazine. 42% of our digital subscribers said they would prefer to read us in print. So, we got to work!
