Thirty First Bird Review

Just a quick update; we now have a Facebook group, which I am hoping will direct a lot of people to the site, and hopefully generate some interest. I also posted on a couple other Pittsburgh literary group's walls, though Facebook then banned me from doing so (since I was distributing spam apparently...) Please let any creative writer types know about this new, fledgling, wailing, crying infant of a journal, and encourage them to submit. And people who like reading, 'cus there ain't no journal with no readers.... and make people up and have them join the facebook group.....

I have also added a new section for author bio's called, nauseatingly enough, "Hagiography." I am not sure if my religious themed titles for the pages are clever of annoying.... Let me know.... It's also a bit presumptuous I suppose, since the only writer is me, and I only have two things posted, but with any luck I will be able to put some more up there soon.

I have designed a relatively prosaic poster that for what it lacks in oomph hopefully makes up for in easy to digest information. I am hoping to post it up around Pittsburgh in the places where the ragged people go this weekend. If anyone would like me to email them the document, and would be saintly enough to post it up in your own town / city / village / reservation / alternative farming community, let me know.

Currently I am considering having only the print addition (there I go being presumptuous again) be themed, and letting the website be a little more anarchistic. Once again, let me know.

I would like some sort of fundraiser while this is being put together, there are enough abandoned churches in Pittsburgh that are bars or barbeque joints that we should be able to have some kind of unity with the central purpose of the journal itself. But we get ahead of ourselves....

Drop a line if you are new to the site (so far, everybody is new to the site.)
