I can tell you this -- trying to get a magazine out during the holidays while buying a house and moving is... let's just call it challenging.
The latest GF - vol 2 - is ready to go, with three new writers no less. And so, the process of distribution and word-out-getting begins anew.

To Press With You!Stopped by Queen City Imaging on Weds to drop off the latest issue. Nice folks up there in Ye Olde College Area -- another part of town that seems to be steadily improving.

1.2Progress is clipping along on volume 2. A couple new authors have added to the melee of literary action, which is awesome. Joel's latest cover is 100% rad as well.
Now we once again come to discussions on how to market this baby. Getting the word out with a budget of roughly zero is a real challenge, but we've got some ideas percolating.

Have you hit up the Buffalo section of the NaNoWriMo boards? I just got an email from them. (NaNoWriMo.org. National Novel Writing Month.) November is National Novel Writing Month and there are literally millions of people participating this year. Look into it; it's fascinating.
I also would try hitting up the Buffalo_Dorks community on Livejournal.
Though if you're not members or involved in either of the above, you're going to look like a skeevy spammer. Check them out and see what they're about, if you have a moment; they're all member-generated content, so outsiders can't post. But they're both good local resources.
I don't know much beyond that. Does Artvoice know about you? I used to work for them; they've cut a lot of their literary section out because it was just so fucking irrelevant. Pardon my French.
Anyway-- somehow I never noticed you on here before, so hi, by the way. :)

It continues.Harvest time is here, so I guess we'd better get down to business on the 2nd issue of GF. We've had a few bites from people interested in contributing, so we;re hoping for a fatter issue this time around. We are also hoping for a phatter issue this time around. I mean, issue 1 was rad and all, but there's always room for improvement.

QuestionableI've started leaving "complimentary" copies of the magazine in waiting rooms. The barber. The dentist. Just bringing 'em in and leaving 'em. I'm a shadowy marketing ninja.
Oh, we're at Queen City Bookstore now, too. Emil is one cool dude, I'll tell you that.

We're currently at Talking Leaves Elmwood, Rust Belt Books, and Queen City Bookstore. I'll be dropping off the new issue tomorrow.
Where can you buy it?
