By the end of this year, The Project for A New Mythology will be finished. I have one more issue to get out, and that will be it as far as an annual journal goes.
The very last issue of The Project for A New Mythology will be called Volume 5: Anthology. The plan is to select a few representative pieces from the first six print issues, and put them together as an eBook, in both the ePub and Kindle formats, and make the ebook available through various online outlets, including The Project for A New Mythology website.
This project represents the final step in my rather drawn out progression toward starting a for-profit publishing business in 2012. The very quietly self-released ebook of my essay “An Argument for Moral Art” was the first step. Volume 5: Anthology is the second.
When The Project for A New Mythology started out, I decided that it would last only as long as I felt it was relevant, and as long as it was able to feed and sustain a community. As I’ve struggled to manage writing, a full-time job, family and relationship obligations, and other things, this journal has fallen to a much lower priority for me, especially since it doesn’t seem to generate anything but more self-imposed work and deadlines.
Rather than simply fading out, I’ve decided to put together an anthology of those early, hand-crafted days, and go out in a blaze of nostalgia.
Who knows what will happen then.
