Volunteer editors and writers needed for beta peer-to-peer journal Website and online magazine. Please drop me a note if you're interested to learn more and assist. Basically we need a crew of intelligent folk to test, tear down, brainstorm, offer input and guidance... or just send some of your articles and ideas.
One of the projects underway here is a free access, peer-to-peer journal for professional literary artists in Portland, throughout Oregon, and around the Northwest. The underlying theme will be to advance the conversation of literary artistry and professionalism. We would include news, editorial, interviews, reviews, events, how-to articles on marketing, writers group info, MFA thoughts, and of course stories on craft... but the style remains local and peer-to-peer. So it is quick to the point, useful, interesting, and conversational in tone. Content certainly would be moderated and possibly edited (where necessary).
Think Poets & Writers meets Village Voice on the local lit scene with Web 2.0 flare, and that's sort of the idea.

What can interested people do to help?
Wow, the Portland literary community rocks! The emails and support have been keeping us completely inspired. One Q that's been repeated: how to help. Thanks for asking! I'll share more insight on this soon, but here's the shortlist for today:
Spreading the word. Please share this blog with folks word-of-mouth style. Once we have the doors open and an actual Web site up, we'll do our best to connect with groups in town.
Keep sharing your ideas, comments and emails. OK, this is sounding slightly referential. But this is huge for us on this side. What do writers in Portland need?
Finding a few core folks. I'll be penning fiction full time from the St. Johns location as of Sept. 15. I'm looking for a few serious writers interested in monthly or weekly desk rental. By getting in now, these writers can help shape the space. I don't have all the digits figured out yet, but something like $400/mo or so that includes all the office stuff you'd need. By sometime in October, we'll be open for writing groups, events, and workshops... really whatever the literary community seems to need.
