Update

Note the statement below and the date. Throughout much of 2009 I aggressively lobbied the established literary community to sign this Petition, whose purpose was to take one small step toward democratizing literature. I sent hundreds of emails, and scores of flyers, postcards, and supporting information to every literary and publishing name and address I could find. NO ONE from the approved established lit scene cared to or dared to participate. What does that say?

For supporting info, click on "Facts and Arguments" at the upper left part of this page, directly above "Links."

Thank you-- and thanks to the brave writers who did sign the Petition.
