On another note, Galley Beggar Press have announced in
their newsletter that they're contemplating a Singles Club subscription,
which I think is a great idea - not at least because I've been talking
about something similar for months now and my secretly hot air balloon-sized ego
still likes its own ideas best. However, such a subscription scheme
might simply prove great for all agents involved: writers see their
shorter texts, including poems, reach an audience they otherwise would probably struggle to attract outside of - let's face it - rather niche specialized magazines; readers get the
opportunity to discover new voices they like without having to comb the net; and publishers are able to
establish a closer relationship with their customers and at the same
time can cut the distribution chain in the case of digital subscriptions - and communicate with people's email inboxes or mobile devices right away.And, perhaps, physical book lovers like me could book a nice little extra of getting the most popular stories/poems of a year in a lovely little anthology? Just a thought.... Anyway: I'm in.
