otto #2

While I had planned the fall/winter issue for October as the more proper timing for the semi-annual publication (spring/summer is geared to come out at the time of the Tunxis Writers Conference in April), I was hoping for a mid-month completion.

However, John Timmons assures me that it is in the printing process and I should be able to pick it up, bind it, and have it out this coming week. It is a full issue with loads of very diverse story in fiction, poetry and essay forms. We would hope that the next issue will include some new media style experiments along with graphic story and we are already planning for spring and the Writers Festival which would be a perfect time to debut these innovations in literary journalism.

otto #2 will be available at the Narratives meeting on November 7th, at the Tunxis Bookstore, and online at various websites to be announced. Cover price is $5.00.

More will be forthcoming on content (perhaps a short story and poem available online) next week. Check this site for information.

The cover is ready to go, and the content is being set up as well for this fall/winter issue.

Moving Right Along...

otto no. 2 is finally in layout stage, and we should have a rough copy of it to show at the Narratives meeting on Monday.

There is still time for submissions, however, as add-ins are the least of the work, unless heavy editing is required. We won't be bringing the touch of sophistication in variety we planned with this issue, i.e., graphic story and pseudohypertext, but it has retained the high quality standards in plain old text story format that is presented in essay, fiction and poetry.
