      thats cool. $10 payment, eh?

      i wonder why no one ever mentions the poor writer?

      you know, with small presses and large presses doing open readings, but then they require a reading fee. they gotta break even too, i can dig it.

      so the only other avenue is for the writer to wait until they’re not so poor to make moves….. but wouldn’t it be dope if the poor writer could submit their projects and then make some possible change off of that?

      sigh…. but serious. i can’t believe that every writer out there has the money to get their work published and find an editor/press… so does everything always come back to commerce, even when it the writer may be crazy talented?

      whatever.

      hi mike,

      i’m not sure if i’m reading your comment right, but p.h.m. pays $10 to writers.. writers don’t have to pay anything.. is that what you mean? or you might be talking about reading fees in general..

      I’m glad to see this is back. For all the public back and forth pissing contests we’ve had over the years, one thing I admire the hell out of: you pour (it seems) every fucking dime you have into literature and its promotion. Seems like, in fact, there were times you chose buying indy press books over a place to sleep. And then mailed those books along to others you thought might like ’em. That’s pretty fucking cool.

      It’s great to see Litareview back again.

      If not Denver, I’ll definitely be at the following AWP because I believe it’s for sure on my own turf. Appreciate your kind comments today; actually quoted you already in my “Who?” page. I’m really into the immediacy of the internet lately. It doesn’t bother me.
