The Lit Pub
Just came across this, but dunno what I make of it -
This be what they say of themselves:
"Our mission is to promote a sustainable literary community by introducing readers to authors we know and love. By providing a public gathering place for ongoing conversations, we aim to connect readers, authors, publishers, and other independent artists of all creative disciplines."
They're big on community, but I think it's more for publishers than for readers... Oh, you get to comment on stuff after reading what they say about things. It's new, so maybe it will grow into a different sort of beast.
The site is quite pretty though.
Molly Gaudry has been very involved with the lit scene for some time now, and she came up with the idea for The Lit Pub a few months back, at AWP. She's always involved in projects such as this, and I've been excited about this one for a few months now. Also, she's a top-notch writer.
Tis true - I have heard many good things.
