Pages Of
Stories is back! We're really quite excited about 2013 and all that it will
bring but first I promised an announcement.
Over the 7
issue that Pages Of Stories operated with that magazine name, I was fortunate
enough to get feedback about the magazine, what we did and the stories we
selected. I've taken a lot of that to heart and rethought how I was running
this company.
Dynamic.
That's what I want people to think of when they see the new magazine – Ficta Fabula. According to Google
translator ‘Fiction Story’ translates to ‘Ficta Fabula’ in Latin. Ficta Fabula, the magazine will have the
same number of stories (14) and now it will also include illustrations and
perhaps even photographs. We expect this
first issue of Ficta Fabula to come
out July 20, 2013.
In the first
go around of this magazine, one of my mistakes was to take on tasks that I
didn’t enjoy – namely editing. I’m very fortunate to announce that a good
friend of mine has agreed to take on that challenge freeing me up to promote
this brand new high quality magazine. Laura Crowe, owner of Imagine It In
Writing, is a published author and editor with a vast array of successful
projects under her belt will now be the editor of Ficta Fabula. She was also published in Pages Of Stories in Issue
#5 with her short story Mourning.
Ah, but the
announcements don’t end there. I’m currently in talks with a company to create
a mobile application for the magazine. This company specializes in creating
apps for magazines and I’m actually a subscriber to one of their clients. The
app will be available across all platforms to make it much more convenient for
you to take with you wherever you go. The magazine will also be downloadable
off the website.
If you feel
that you are a bit of a Luddite, fear not as the magazine will also be
available in printed format for those that want it. We can send it right to
your door. Printed books and magazines will never go away so all of the titles
that are published by Pages Of Stories from now on will have a print copy
option and an electronic copy option for those that want it.
We (as in
Gary and I) are making some more changes within the company as well. Pages Of
Stories will be the publishing company, giving us the opportunity to publish
other magazines and books under the one name. Yes, we’re going to branch out
into book publishing – fiction of all kinds and word counts and genre specific
magazines.
Lest We Forget will be the only non-fiction
title in our repertoire and we are now accepting story submissions.
The future
looks bright! Welcome Ficta Fabula
and Laura Crowe to the Pages Of Stories family. We are now accepting story
submissions to our new magazine.
