Goals:

  •  Gearing  up to paying pro rates to writers by Autumn 2024 (that's 0.08 cents per word according to the SFWA: https://www.sfwa.org/2019/09/03/sfwa-minimum-pro-rate-now-in-effect/)
  • Audio version of one to two stories or poems each issue 
    • We can also include a musical or other media file on the webpage
  • Honorariums to the editors. (We will have to work this out - per submission? Per issue? What is a fair rate?) 
  • Honorariums to the web design team and a budget to upgrade their skills and tools regularly and as needed 
  • Budget for promotions
  • Budget to pay artists 
  • Print?
This will include something about the Yachats Retreat for 2024 as well as RW and the Retreat are intimately tied together.

Autumn 2024: Walking Away.
In 1973, Ursula LeGuin wrote a short philosophical story that describes the perfect, peaceful, graceful city. A place with no hunger or sorrow, crime or discontent. A place where no one was homeless, lacked fulfilling work, and the arts and sciences flourished. Omelas. A place with a dark and terrible secret. And some walked away, unable and unwilling to pay that price.

“They leave Omelas, they walk ahead into the darkness, and they do not come back. The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness.” Ursula LeGuin 


BB! And Happy New Year!  All of Us!
