Interesting post. One of my favorite models of new media is Narrative Magazine (www.narrativemagazine.com). They publish fiction, nonfiction & poetry, and provide a platform for a lot of new voices. As a non-profit, all of their reading & contest fees go toward paying the authors they publish.

Reading has always been an historically eclectic endeavor.

‘In a world chock-full of free, but pitiful fiction, the average novel will be a waste of time, an insult to the intelligence and an advert for every other form of entertainment out there.’

Go into an average public library: the shelves are full of free, but pitiful fiction …

kassia,

Thanks for the comment!

Scrutiny is certainly a motivator! I’m certainly in the cheering camp and, for what it’s worth, happy to help too!

All the best,
Eoin

Thanks for the comment Kat!

I am very impressed with the step you guys have taken and I think if it can be done, it will be done by you!

Looking forward to seeing the results!

Eoin –

Thank you so much for writing this. It’s a weird thing, putting words to action, but if ever a time to do so existed, it is right now. We are, individually and collectively, extremely excited.

In a funny way, we appreciate all the eyes on us. No one person — or company — has all the answers, and it helps that our friends are out there, cheering, jeering (there will be moments!), and offering advice. I’m sure we’ll need a lot of the latter!

Wow, Eoin. Thank you so much. Your words mean so much to all of us at Quartet. We’re doing everything we can to make sure we live up to such high expectations. And, we hope that you (and everyone else in the community) will share ideas, criticisms, suggestions and thoughts — on anything we’re doing and on anything related to the evolution of publishing. First and foremost, we want voices to be heard and community to flourish, so stories can be told. We definitely don’t have all the answers, but we know that with all interested parties working together, we’re much more likely to come up with some workable solutions.
Thanks again for the post. And, I suppose the Quartet crew has some serious work to do now. So, we’d better get to it!
