One way for Charlottesville to become more a literary town would be to record as many readings as possible.

I would gladly lend out recording equipment to people who wanted to record events at New Dominion, or at other readings. That would give others who can’t attend the chance to listen in, on their own time, either at their computer or with an iPod.

If you charge for submissions, and charge for copies of the magazine, that should offset at least part of the money/unpaid time factor.

If by literary city you mean the number of people who read books — Charlottesville is very high up there. The Jefferson-Madison Regional Library has the highest per capital circulation in the country in its population size. Last year during THE BIG READ — hundreds of people read THE GREAT GATSBY and attended book discussion events. March/April of this year THE BIG READ will be TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Check the website for events that will be continually added.

You’re probably right. The CWC’s offerings have definitely dwindled as its founding members have moved on to other pursuits; it’s a shame.

I think it is. The last issue that came out was the Fall 2006 issue, and the website hasn’t been updated since. I hope someone will correct me if I’m wrong.
