BC publishes its last issue

I'm currently working on the ninth issue of the magazine. Unfortunately, for the time being at least, this will be the last issue.

I have run this magazine for the last two years single-handedly, and it has been a pleasure. However, I now find myself with less time to dedicate to the magazine, and a half-hearted job isn’t fair on the readers, the writers or myself. When Blinking Cursor began, I was working just twelve hours a week. Now I work full-time, and it has been a tough decision to stop producing the magazine, but it is time for it to come to an end.

All books and copies of the magazine – both hard copies and free downloads – will still be available at www.lulu.com/spotlight/BlinkingCursor. As of May 2012, the website will no longer exist, but the Facebook and Twitter accounts will remain open. And you never know, maybe one day BC will reopen for submissions. But for now, this is goodbye. Thank you for reading, and thank you for submitting – the writers for Blinking Cursor have been a delight to deal with, and I wish you all every success in your publishing endeavours.
