I'll provide an amazon link in early January or you can email me to request a copy.
>>14373058
It's made up as a joke for one of the "worst covers" threads.
>>14373152
How does that work? When it's done, I can include it in that database?

how many copies will be printed?
will the first edition also be available on amazon?

>>14373353
First edition, we're all out but if people keep requesting them, I can do another run in the new year.
The second edition, I'm thinking between 150 and 200 copies

>>14372720
>Sorry, no genre fiction like fantasy, sci-fi, etc.

>>14373364
Who leaked the cover of the third edition?

You’ll only accept submissions in English or will there eventually be a corner for different languages, possibly a different one every quarter?

>>14373785
Unfortunately, only English. My editing partner speak French, but I can only see myself accepting poetry if anything.

>>14372720
what a dogshit idea

>>14372720
>no genre fiction
What fiction does not belong to a genre?

>>14374036
What genre does hamlet fit in

>>14373889
no

>>14374060
Tragedy.

bump

>>14374185
Literally any story with an unhappy ending is a tragedy

>>14374203
So you agree that all fiction has a genre?

>>14372720
I honestly think the spring edition should be pushed war farther back because if the Winter edition is more successful then you should reevaluate your prices and maybe even get it some academic merit. If it goes well then surely time should be spent on improving the quality of the content and physical nature of the book itself. Its probably not just me but a lot of people holding back their work to see how this one goes. Anyways I got in this winter edition and hope it comes out well, and a little earlier for a late Christmas gift if possible. Gl my man

>>14374217
I mean sci-fi, fantasy, YA. I suppose I'll consider anything, but it has to have strong literary features too.
>>14374259
Thanks, I hear you. I'm gonna ask for some feedback after the second one's out. Like whether keeping it as a book format, or make it more like a magazine, for example.

>>14372720
Why do the covers for this thing always look so bad?

I always think you guys are shitposting.

>>14374465
I'm open to suggestions. What kind of thing would you like for the cover design?

>>14372720
Why is the website down?

>>14374764
Not sure, it was another anon who set it up. Gonna re-evaluate in the new year for a long-term solution.

>>14374771
alright

>>14374665
Not the anon you replied to, but you should use an image displaying plain text. Something clear and distinct. That way anyone who sees it on the catalog knows what it is.

>>14374665
The goal of this publication is to expose aspiring writers correct? If a graphic is necessary why not pen and paper? Otherwise I support >>14374794, simply title it.

>>14374764
Webmaster anon here, it went down because the period I paid for ended and GoDaddy is a shitty platform and I'd rather remake a proper website with Wordpress or something. I do want to remake it but I have been very busy with the gf to do anything of a literary nature. I'll have time between Christmas and New Year's, though, so I might be able to get it done then.
>>14374771
If you have any thoughts or are looking to do something yourself let me know, otherwise I think you know what you can expect from me.

>>14374465
you do realize op's pic related is not the cover

>>14374794
>>14374816
The first cover was an original creation of a friend of mine. Second one follows a similar theme, but with a different design. For the third one and beyond, I'm thinking a standard header/banner with the title, volume, and subtitle, then an exploitable design/template to display the contributors names and feature works.
>>14374827
Yeah, no new ideas yet. I'm trying to simplify to printing process first, then get a cheap site to host info and links instead of just on this board. Depending on how the second issue goes could determine what I pursue with the website.

Sincere

>tfw not only will i have a thing in the winter edition, but it will also be the best thing in it
looking forward to all the compliments you're gonna give me bros

>>14377606
You are cute!

>>14377606
This will be me but in spring. I'm going to use this as an excuse to write an essay I've always wanted to write.

bump

Excited. Hope I end up being proud to be included in this Winter edition. I'm worried about being beside other anon's work, for reputation and petty credibility reasons.

>>14380459
Y-you didn't go by your real name that you'd use in academic publication, d-d-did you anon?

>>14380459
I'm in this and my work literally uses both the terms faggot and kike, although in a 3rd person, definitional sense.

You're fucked. I'm actually proud of this essay and I couldn't use it at all for my recent applications to university. I'm certainly published under a pseudonym.

Gonna try to get in the next edition, too. Fucker.

But it's worth being published next to. My writing is good.

>>14372720
What's meant by plausible?

>>14381187
I dunno if it's really going to be a big deal. No one interested in my work is going to pay to read this stuff, or get a copy.

>>14381187
Aw ye. I'll be published right by you, my niggy.

Going forward, I'm hoping to have more non-fiction contributions, but we are not a partisan publication. If your essay is solid, cohesive, relevant, and well-written over all, the topic/content will not be the cause of not getting printed.

>>14373206
Honestly I've seen this thread up for a day and didn't bother reading the op because the image rubbed me the wrong way so much

I sat upon an ivory throne
and browsed a website on my phone
alas, the splash did hit my rear
with no one around to lend an ear
so perchance I did reply
to a thread that caught my eye
here we stand, or rather sit
while I take the meanest shti

>>14381586
okay, maybe i'll write an essay comparing erasmus and machiavelli on the topic of honestas and utilitas in government. i assume you'll want a hook linking it to contemporary politics though, right?

>>14381621
Give this man a page in the next edition.

>>14381607
It's a satirical cover for C&P lol.
>>14381655
That would probably help. Also, make sure it's not too academic (like a university paper or something).

>>14381726
>It's a satirical cover for C&P lol.
this board is retarded.

>>14381883
and that's a good thing

I just want my comfy story to be published somewhere.

>>14382179
We do accept comfy, as long as it's well-written.

Would you accept an essay on anime and Plato's theory of Forms?

Meaning the plot and action doesn't rely on magic or curses.
>>14382582
We perhaps could, if it's not too strictly scholarly and has some sort of relevance to a current event or a literary work our readers would be familiar with. Philosophy is a tough one to judge.

>>14372720
This saddens me. Alas, I must wait.

>>14382582
That sounds fantastic. Hilarious and useful to this crowd.
