Transcend and Include

Fictionaut founder Jurgen Fauth defends the community-based site’s place as a disruptive but inclusive step in the evolution of literary journals:

Attention creates more attention, and Fictionaut connects interested readers with new writers, journals, and small presses. On our blog, we feature weekly interviews with groups, and every Tuesday, Luna Digest surveys the landscape of literary magazines. Instead of usurping the market, Fictionaut creates a new layer on top of old structures — and invigorates them in the process.

Of all the experiments in online literary publishing that I’ve seen, Fictionaut is the one I’m most excited about.
