The Iowa Writers’ Collaborative will launch officially in September. This is the Beta mode of a weekly column collecting members’ links. We welcome your feedback, suggestions, and subscriptions.
This is a service to readers interested in content related to Iowa and who find a curative approach helpful.
It is also a service to professional writers by making a direct link to readers and paying subscribers.
As legacy media newshole shrinks, we stand to lose too many talented voices. It's not because readers aren’t interested in commentary; it’s because the traditional business model is changing.
Be a part of this new movement. Pay writers directly, if you can. Share this with friends, and post it on Facebook, Twitter, and elsewhere.
What do you think? We want to know.
Let the world know about the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative:
