A Wiki Letter to Journalists

The publisher John Gibney, probably a Professor at UMASS-Amherst [1] [2] [3], owner of FkB Press Inc. [4], should be contacted to help answer some of the below questions regarding the Old Crow Review:

What was the approximate circulation of the Old Crow Review, especially over the years. Who were the readership? Local Amherst residents solely?

How many Old Crow contributions were nominated for the Pushcart Prize and how many won? Were there nominations for other awards?

What kind of ties did the Old Crow Review have to its local community? William Monahan, in an interview with The Hartford Courant, talks about the original serialization of his novel Light House in the Old Crow ("Writer's 'trifle' Aims Higher", Oct 2, 2001), and says that "In 1993, I gave it to a literary magazine to serialize to benefit a food charity."

Are there any other titles from FkB Press that contain writing by William Monahan? Perhaps a short story anthology?

It was a worthwhile literary magazine and it would be a good idea to conserve the issues, as well as provide a short encyclopedic article describing it. Why not even make back-issues available?-BillDeanCarter (talk) 05:03, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To do

The Beyond Fantasy Fiction article is being used as a template for this article.

The Reception section could be built up based on some of the Factsheet Five short reviews of the Old Crow Review from prior to 1998.

The History and significance section could talk of William Monahan, but only when an overall view has been obtained so that there is no bias towards one contributor. Simon Perchik, Patricia Martin, and Pat Schneider contributed poetry. Interview with Owen Barfield and Elmer Schenkel reprinted in Issue 2. Who were the other important contributors?

hoax

i believe this tiny periodical existed, as shown by those online catalogs. Uncertain how to asssess the rest, and less certain it's worth the trouble; its maximim distribution was 500 copies.Bali ultimate (talk) 17:42, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
