| THE FORWARD PAPERS We are in the process of putting together a literary and arts magazine called, “The Forward Papers” to serve the Pocono Area in PA and beyond. We’ve been exploring many styles, formats, and dimensions along with comparing printing cost for the project. As of now, we hope to publish 5000 copies of a 20 page magazine semi annually to start. We may publish more copies with more pages more frequently as funds and material permits. We’re in the process of making up a mock up (prototype) issue to show to potential advertisers and investors. We hope the funds to publish the magazine will come from advertisers, page and issue sponsors, patronages, and very affordable individual contributions. Please feel free to contact us for a listing of our rates. We’ve been meeting with our editor Debbie Burke of Pocono Jazz and Poetry who has proven instrumental in setting the ground work for this project with her editorial and business experience. Now, we would like to invite you to be a part of this wonderful adventure. On Saturday December 12th, we held a special gathering at 11am in The Starbucks Coffeehouse located at 745 Main Street near the corners of 8th and Main Streets in Stroudsburg, PA for Writers and Artists as well as those interested in marketing and helping the magazine raise revenue for printing. For those of you who were unable to attend on this meeting, please feel free to contact us to arrange an individualized one. Please feel free to Contact us directly to do so and to gain for more information. The Forwardian Arts Society Home Page |

| Wednesday November 25th, 2009 - Printed the first version of The Forward Papers Prototype (Mock up) issue to be shown to potential investors. It was edited and fine tuned prior to the Publication Gathering which took place Saturday December 12th. It's nice to see it on paper. |
| MORE TO COME |
| Many topics relating to the publication of The Forward Papers were explored as our envisioning began to take the shape of a manifested reality during our first Publication Gathering on Saturday December 12th. Some of ideas generated included holding events filled with music, poetry, and art to help raise additional funds to assure the publication of our premier issue and beyond. The next Publication Gathering will take place soon after the Holidays. Stay tuned for your opportunity to participate |
