On Reaching 100 Issues

Dear Readers,

Authors Publish was started a little over two years ago. In the years since we published our first issue the format has changed a little, however our focus has remained the same, connecting authors with publishing opportunities and other resources that can help build their careers.

In the last two years we have fought changes in the ways literary journals have run, supported Indie Authors with publicity and resources, strived to keep our readers informed about traditional publishing opportunities,  and paid every author that we have ever published.

About a year ago we started to publish in depth eBooks on subjects too dense for individual articles. We have made these available to our readers for free, while still paying the authors of the eBooks.

We hope to continue to grow, change, and improve over the next 100 issues. We learned a lot over the first 100 and we hope to learn even more. If you have any suggestions or ideas that you want us to consider, please email us at support@authorspublish.com.

For this issue we are doing something we have never done before. We are publishing three brand new special feature articles. We feel like these three articles really reflect the tone and ideals of Authors Publish.  One article is an editor’s perspective on what they don’t want to see in a cover letter.  The Second article focuses on  international opportunities for publication. Third is an info-graphic covering the habits of famous writers.

Thank you so much for your readership and your support,

Jacob & Caitlin Jans
