Well, it is simple to not let the project fail: submit articles.

I confess I thought that, given the number of impressive and relatively serious contributions to the first edition, my feeble flippancy would likely as not be unwelcome. If, however, you're struggling for material I may be able to throw something together.

Remind me again what the overarching theme was, and I'll see if I can re-work an old essay or something.

[Figlio di Moros]

I'd write something, but I'm certainly not a good writer; it seems there's plenty of people here much better suited to write about topics than I am.

What was the topic, again?

I think your first article - also the first article in the very first issue - kind of set the tone of the publication: well written, eloquent but also with a light touch. Yes, we would very much like another article from you for the current issue. The overarching theme is the politics and economics of the Recession. But we are always open to articles on practically any topic. So if there is any article you would like to contribute, we'd be very happy to publish it.

Nor am I a good writer; I mean, English is not even my native language. But I think PoFo Monthly is a good place to try out your writing skills and to test your ideas in a more or less systematic fashion. Of course, there are always people better suited to write about various topics, and PoFo Monthly has so far attracted quite a number of them in our trial issue; but it is just as important to present your ideas in written form which not every good thinker does, unfortunately.

Do you think the theming of issues has had an impact on people's willingness to make submissions?

[HoniSoit]

You're lucky we didn't make Depression the theme of this issue; imagine how that would make people feel.

But yes, I understand people may feel not really qualified to write about the Recession. But really we are not seeking only technical analysis - although that's very welcome; but rather analysis of the Recession from their particular perspective and concern.

And of course, we accept submission on any other topic as well.

I'm going to send something (short) that is about Greece (not the Arctic). I just need to finish the bulletin I'm working on for... work. lol

[The Clockwork Rat]

I'll have at least one thing written for the end of June.

I was thinking of writing about my experience in the US, but that's been done many times before. If I had a clearer and more well known ideological perspective I would write through that, but I don't. Any suggestions?

[HoniSoit]

But hey, you are a Marxist!

[The Clockwork Rat]

I don't have a very deep understanding at the moment, or I'm not articulate enough. I'll have just as much chance with whatever you throw at me.

[HoniSoit]

I think writing about your experience in the US would be great with or without any ideological perspective.

Or, would you be interested in writing about the UK election - we haven't had anyone writing about that yet?

I can always roll back on hard cynic, but that's a bit boring.

So when is the new version coming? As far as I can tell it's time for the next one already.

[Cheesecake_Marmalade]

It's in the works. Kevin and Craig are working on it as best they can with such little participation.

They can only give back what you guys give to them. Even short, quality pieces would be better than nothing, and at this point no real theme needs to be adhered to as long as it's insightful.

I co-wrote a piece on the Balkans (party), I was wondering what happened to it.

[HoniSoit]

lessnot - we are nearly finished. But you may still have to wait for another week or so before we can upload the final version. Thanks.

[lessnot]

Ok, is anyone thinking about the next one? I just got some spare time and I'm sitting on my hands.

[killim]

Woooot? Nearly finished? When do i get my reviewed piece for corrections?

Is there any particular topic you are interested in writing about?

Can you PM me your email address, please?
