Submissions v. Subscriptions

So far this month people wanting me to publish their stories in ST outnumber those willing to renew/buy a subscription to the magazine by approximately 4:1. This is, I suspect, the reason why there are very few people out there willing to edit small circulation magazines. Pity.

Supposedly the poet Paddy Kavanagh once commented that at the great massing at Tara (seat of Ireland's High Kings) there were ten thousand poets - and that it hadn't been allowed drop below that number since. I guess writers are equally ubiquitous!

'Schalken the Painter' by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

A reading by yours truly of one of the all-time classics. I hope you enjoy it!  I'm told my voice sends people to sleep so maybe try it ...
