Yes, there are probably half a dozen people mad enough to join (those are the core readership); but I do worry about committing to a schedule stretching far ahead. (Another traditional way for small presses to raise money is running poetry or short story competitions with entry fees, but a definite NO to that.)charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580118367334638930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174931926240040143.post-48788689035734701702010-05-30T02:13:06.661+01:002010-05-30T02:13:06.661+01:00Publishing is important.

You know that all too well - and how is the next collection coming along? <br /><br />Commiserations on not getting a grant. They are so perverse, these grant-giving bodies, that they probably thought you were doing well enough without them and decided to give money to presses who'd never won/win any prizes. Sigh. <br /> <br />The titles I've seen from CB editions have been so consistently good I might even be tempted with a subscription to your list, whatever. It's small enough, and the brand is strong. Have you thought of that? Well, there must be at least half a dozen people as mad as me, and it would be more fun than membership of the PBS.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308068899467100319noreply@blogger.com
