To commemorate the third anniversary of qarrtsiluni, we’re delighted to announce a printed edition of “Journaling the Apocalypse.” The paperback book is 6 x 9″, 108 pages, with a full-color cover and black-and-white interior. All the posts and images are included, with the exception of the music and video posts that are only available online. The price is $12.95, exclusive of shipping.

You can view the front and back covers as well as a representative sample of inside pages on the ordering website. We’ve also made the book available through Amazon.com — order here.

This first foray into print publishing represents a big step for us. We want to test the viability of offering a print edition, feeling that print still does carry a certain kind of legitimacy in the world of contemporary literature which our writers definitely deserve to have, and we also feel that hard copies of published work could help us increase the journal’s already excellent reputation and broaden its base among critics, reviewers, and some readers and writers as well. If this volume is well-received by you and others, we are also considering an anthology from qarrtsiluni’s first three years, as well as an annual chapbook contest. None of this will affect or distract us from our primary focus, which is our online publishing and web presence.

All proceeds from “Journaling the Apocalypse” will support future projects like these. This is all a labor of love for us, though like any non-profit arts organization we hope someday to have a small income stream that can at least pay a small amount to the artists and writers and guest editors who make the whole qarrtsiluni experiment burst forth into reality. This is our first step in that direction, and we hope you’ll take it with us.
