It’s long been our goal at Kartika to find our way from an online format to book form. And so–we (well, not WE but more like Sunny, our beloved, intrepid founder and Editor) ventured to organize (format, compile, etc., etc.) and order a proof copy of a Kartika anthology of our first year’s published work.
And LOOK! It’s up there! (*hop hop*)
We’re not sure where to go from here. We certainly can’t, at this point in time, afford to give even our published writers and interviewees free copies of the magazine. We’d have to charge all of you (we feel badly about that, but even now, we’re running on virtually zero funds–good that we can keep costs so low in this economy but not so good for expansion possibilities. And rewarding our writers with free copies and paying for stories is TOP of our list for a day when we can get funding). Would you buy a copy? Would you subscribe? How many of you would subscribe? We’d like to sell the anthology for $15/copy.
It’s an amazing and beautiful anthology with nearly fifty writers highlighted in its pages.
If we can get this anthology off the ground, if you buy it…I think we can then take the next step of publishing regularly in book form.
What do you think? We need your support. The writers need your support. Our community needs your support. Would you please buy a copy?
(Please).

It does look very nice.
A benefit of digital publications is the minimal budget involved,
and I very much appreciate the .pdf archive,
but to own…
books read much better when in my hands.
I would buy a copy.
of course, after much self-goading,
though I’m easily won over when it comes to books or records.

Hello everyone! We’re operating on a limited budget and are unsure of how large to make the run of our first anthology–and so we are making the anthology available via Lulu.com
You may buy a copy of the anthology here:
