Book Description

Series: NotaBell Books | Publication Date: July 1, 2002

WithoutCovers incites conversation, debate, argument, and most pressingly, questions regarding the reasons behind and effects of small literary magazines moving to online publishing. Questions discussed are: Is it possible? How? When? and the most puzzling, Why? Through the musings of nineteen well-known editors, poets, fiction, nonfiction, and hypertext writers, readers can eavesdrop into a discussion of the purpose and politics of online publishing that has created a new bridge between traditional literary interests and current institutional, cultural, and financial pressures to focus on technology.

Collaboratively compiled and deftly edited by the team of Lesha Hurliman and Numsiri C. Kunakemakorn, Without Covers gathers the insights by a variety of diverse authors concerning the expanding field of online publishing, including its influence on both traditional literary circles, and as a reflection of an increasingly technological age. The individual essays look at literary magazines online, editors in the age of the Internet, the redefinition of the book itself, and much, much more in this original and ground breaking anthology of informative commentaries of magazine publishing in the new and rapidly evolving digital era.
