An idea
Earlier this year we had the bright idea that we wanted to get into the business of publishing a literary journal. We'd get to read dozens of interesting and innovative pieces, and we'd have the distinction of publishing great authors with something to say. After all, we had the whole bookmaking thing down, so it should only take a couple weeks, right?
After many internet form hurdles and faulty writers' bulletin boards, the submissions began flying in toward the end of February and all the way through the month of March. The Winter '07 issue of the Quarterly had rapidly become the Spring '07 issue, and we found ourselves piled high with over 150 feasible submissions. 150 of out the relative human population doesn't sound like much, but consider that the work was spread out among only three people and that those 150 represented only a percentage of the total number of received submissions, and you can begin to see how much of an undertaking this venture was.
