Okay, just a little update on the progress of the Zine for those concerned. I talked with Rachel today, who is the co-founder of the www.neighborhoodstoryproject.org/, and anthropology professor extraordinaire. She has generously offered the project the NSP workspace, in the form of a cozy office in the seventh ward, right off of Esplanade Ave., as well as encompassing the project under the NSP "umbrella" if you will.
What comes with these benefits you ask? Well, first off, I will be advised on methods of distribution by Abram, who is the organization's go to man for distribution of all their books, as well as their fundraising and printing demigod. As well, the organization will gladly link our site (once we have one up and running) to their own, helping us to further draw in support and potential writers/collaborators. Additionally, come late October, the NSP will graciously donate a section of their table at the New Orleans Book Fair for me to advertise for as well as distribute copies of the first issue of Genderbeat (the one I attached in the last post) as a way of strumming up interest for the following issues to come.
I'm super pumped about all of this, and glad to see that the project appears to be moving along steadily. Right now we are in the process of staffing up, with Chelsea acting as key editor, Shanna and Sebastian printers and potential collaborators, and I'll be building up a website, which will hopefully launch next week or so. If you know anyone in the NOLA area who fits into the criteria for the project and would be willing and dedicated to contributing to the Zine, please give them my contact info and any information you can regarding the project.
I'll keep y'all updated on our progress as things start to come together. Thanks for the support!
