Red Ink Launches - Press Release
www.incwriters.com
The new page at www.incwriters.com delivers the final phase in The Incwriters Society programme to archive and protect writing. Editors, Peter Lewin, Andrew Oldham and Ian Parks will be opening the doors to poetry and prose submissions from the 1st June 2006 for the Winter 2006 edition. The publication will utilise new technologies and will be printed as a PDF (to increase distribution and ease of post around the UK), giving opportunities to photographers and artists to submit their work as potential cover art. Readers can subscribe to the magazine for as little as £4.00 a year, and will receive two editions a year, including selected work from five poets and one writer. Founder and present Administrator of The Incwriters Society (whose patrons include, Janice Galloway and Esther Morgan), says the idea behind the magazine is clear: "The premise is simple, to allow poets to have more than one poem printed at a time in a magazine, to show a greater bredth and understanding of their work". The magazine will also include one short story or extracts from novels about to be printed, "to promote new authors and established authors, to dispell any nonsense that the internet will kill off book sales and book readers, to show that new technologies and old ways can work side by side, complimenting each other".
