publishing pledge

Published donations.

Taking on a charity shop business model as publishing model. A donation drop off point will be set, this can be done anonymously. Differing from regular calls for submissions, this publishing project isn't asking for any certain content.

Just your old unused content, thoughts, idea's, drawings, essay's, poems, articles. Various practitioners will be asked if they would like to donate, but anyone is able to donate.

As like physical charity shops the buyer will never know the donatee, although occasionally items are marked with notable clue's as to who it belonged to previously.

Hopefully a future of the project could be a database, a categorised archive of content, from illustrations to poems, you would have to pay a charitable sum in order to use the pieces for certain outputs, there would be a fee toward the creator, and a percentage to charity.

which the book is presented, is mimicking the model of the club. The reader, an audience, the DJ, the curator.

the display of information, behind glass is standard situation for a pub jukebox, the presentation of hundreds of albums hours of entertainment.

- To take the same display techniques and apply to books, being able to read a chapter of one, the synopsis of another, before buying, or maybe renting at a public house.
