[OPLINLIST] Literary magazine question (Elizabeth Wilson)

Sat Aug 19 13:36:56 EDT 2023

Hi Elizabeth,
Great idea! In my 2016 book, "40+ New Revenue Sources for Libraries and Nonprofits",  Source 31 is Publishing, which is details quite a bit of how you can do this; Board considerations, contracts, promotional ideas, first steps and many other things are covered. It looks like you have it in your system as a reference book.
Good luck, let me know if you have any questions
