Chekhov's Mistress

Nyet Zembla

by Bud Parr

Zembla magazine appears to be closing shop. I’m not necessarily a fan, but sorry to see anything literary go by the wayside. Funny though, how little bitty tiny literary journals manage to stay afloat for years on end out of passion hope and hard work and a big budget production like Zembla can’t make it on £400,000.

It IS sad.  We’ve just put out issue no. 2 of otto for the college, and I’m frustrated with lack of submissions and help and physically putting it together myself for now, and yet it’s such a good feeling seeing the physical book in your hand.  Printing cost can run high, and as most journals don’t take or don’t take much advertising space yet pay out in costs for advertising themselves, it’s never going to be a high profit enterprise.  But gee, 400,000 pounds does seem doable.
