Little Info If You Could

[Lester Curtis]

Well, I don't know what a 'budget writer' is supposed to be, but we certainly welcome new participants -- you may have noticed periodic complaints about the scarcity of new voices here.

And, yes, most of the material and commentary comes from a small circle, but we do want to make the circle bigger.

So, please, jump right in! Submit something, or comment on the stories and poems posted here -- better yet, do both! We're very much about helping each other improve our work.

Hello all,

I have been coming to this zine for quite some time now and I genuinely enjoy all of the creative works here. As a budget writer, I was hoping I'd be able to get some feedback on my own works. However, I've noticed that those that usually get the feedback on their works, lately anyway, seem to be a somewhat 'circle' of regulars. The July issue would be a decent example. The only stories that seem to have received any feedback are the works of the 'regulars'.

Would it be beneficial to submit my stories to this zine? Would I receive the feedback I'd need to grow and evolve from a budget writer?

That's pretty easy. If you've seen the comments, ask yourself, are they giving good advice? If they are, then you'd benefit.

If you want more comments, become a regular yourself. Plus, the process of giving those comments can make you a better writer, too. At least, it did for me.
