Breathing New Life Into the Written Word

In case you missed it the other day, there’s a nice little article about electronic magazines and how the internet is actually helping literature.

Literature lovers are using the web to break down barriers to both reading and writing. Netizens are hooked on E-zines that feature both amateur and established writers.

Not to mention, they pimp Short, Fast & Deadly in the same paragraph as the New Yorker.

If you have less than a minute to spend on reading, Short Fast and Deadly, a project by Joseph Quintela offers you poetry that could fit into a Twitter message (140 characters or less) and prose that doesn’t extend beyond a paragraph. Pressure of this sort does wonders for creativity and Quintela releases a fresh virtual issue every week.

Way to go, Joseph.
