For those who haven't heard, I have a sabbatical from work coming up and am solicitating writing (short stories and essays) from the people of Yea Forums to print in a "quarterly" towards the end of the summer and into the fall. Accepted contributions earn $200 Canadian (roughly 150USD) no strings attached. I will print a fixed amount of the quarterly and sell them at shipping cost to anyone interested. Email me at litquarterly@gmail.com.
This is a non-profit, self-funded project meant to give writers a little more structure and motivation to FINISH their smaller projects. There are only a handful of conditions: >the submission must not be previously published >essays must be related to modern culture, history, literature, or politics and not exceed 5000words >short fiction must be literary and realistic (sorry, no fantasy, romance, or scifi) or satirical and not exceed 5000words. >poetry must not exceed one page (with some discretion) and must be evocative and serious in tone. [Note: accepted poetry pays 150CAD].
That is all. If you have something started, finished, or in the editing process, email me at litquarterly@gmail.com. I will happily edit your work for grammar, tone, and clarity and give you constructive feedback. I've had a handful of submission, with two contributors have already been accepted and paid!
Don't waste your money on turds like this OP. You could use that money to set up something fucking better than this shit. Giving a few hundred bucks to potboiler-writing NEET niggers on the internet is just going to drain your bank account for no reason.
I gather you have disposable wealth but this is just setting it on fire. You're going to attract the scum of Yea Forums, not even "the best of Yea Forums, a scummy place." You're going to get no self-awareness having retards who just want money.

Could I interest you in a critique of Accelerationism? (Just the Left and Right variants, nothing too schizophrenic).
Michael Moore
do you have a deadline in mind?
Jayden Brown
if you think people are gonna wanna publish good work but have it associated with Yea Forums you are what is colloquially known as "naive"
Charles Anderson
Maybe he'll give it some generic name that wouldn't be recognized as such to the uninitiated, like when "Hypersphere" happened?

Take away the money aspect...would YOU contribute your stuff for free? The money aspect isn't earth-shattering, but it's *something*. What I'm trying to attract are people in a similar situation as I am in: been writing as a hobby for years, am too self-conscious to take the traditional, corporate publishing route, and just want to ENJOY writing with a purpose with something to show for it at the end.
Absolutely. Please contribute.
If I had all submissions by the end of August, that would be ideal. But a couple weeks beyond, I could probably work with. It's just that I'm leaving country mid-September so printing might be more arduous...or it might be cheaper, who knows.
Correct. It is in no way officially affiliated with Yea Forums. "Lit Quarterly" is a working title (I'm open to suggestions, btw.), but the journal will have no affiliation with the site whatsoever. It will be published somewhat anonymously.

Would you be interested in an essay I wrote while I was in the psych ward?
Anthony Brooks
>it will be published somewhat anonymously what does that mean, no names attached? tripcodes only?
