Hello.
So, BITEmagazine issue 4. The photographic theme is "no faces." This is sort of a fitting theme for this issue, because it sums up the future direction of BITEmagazine: there will be no more faces, i.e., no more pictures of authors alongside work they've written. I'm changing the format of the magazine, and thus, this is the last issue that's going to be like this.
I'm pretty excited about the new format, which I thought of a few weeks ago and about which I have received positive feedback so far. From now on, BITEmagazine will publish only very short prose on specific themes. In my explanations, I have called them "bips." A bip is a complete story--either fiction or nonfiction--that is less than 350 words long. There is no lower limit. Each issue will have a theme, but the theme will be topical rather than photographical.
The magazine will still run poetry of unassigned length. It will also accept photography, but photographs no longer have to be of the authors of the pieces they run alongside.
I will still attempt to make the magazine approximately quarterly, but it is a loose attempt. I think it is better to make it more unexpectedly occasional. It will happen when it happens. Which is good, because that's how it's been going, anyway.
Let me know what you think. Send mail here.
And even though this is the last issue in this format because I got tired of the format, I still think everything in it is good and you should read it. Yeah.
OK, bye.
