Read These Lips!

The first edition of a new e-publication called Read These Lips was issued on Sunday. It is a collection of some very fine short stories by lesbian writers from literally all over the world. It comes in at just under one hundred words and is published in adobe format. Printing out a copy and sharing with friends is encouraged by the editor. I must say, it's very well done. The writing is first class, the stories compelling, and the content first rate. That's pretty impressive since the writers were not compensated and this was the first edition. The editor managed to draw some major writerly talent and did it without a reputation and without the promise of money. And the end product is a tight design and very enjoyable prose.

The only thing I would like to see done differently is the frequency of publication. The plan currently is to publish a volume once a year. I'd like to see the frequency increased to once a half or, even better, once a quarter. However, it is considerably longer than most similiar publications, so I suppose that's the trade off.
