I've been getting sloppy with my cut and paste in recent days :) What did you think of the mag? I recognized a few names in the recent issue, including one Rebecca Rosenblum, whose story I read right then---thanks to RR, I can now imagine what it is like to be painfully thin. Not that I was in any danger of finding out in my real life, but that story made me run out for a donut... Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Alan – I’ve fixed the link!

But The New Quarterly, a "slick, well-manufactured, government-funded literary Bible"? I don't think so! We do get government funding, but we also do bingo, beg donations of friends and family, reach into our own pockets. We pay our writers but, for the most part, not our editors. It's taken us 28 years to get where we are, and we've done it by following our own noses and reading everything that comes across our desks. It's not government funding that's the secret of our ever-precarious success--it's perseverance!
