The first magazine issue continues to be in constant demand and sells for its original price of $6 plus postage.

My background has been in journalism, public relations, publishing and teaching journalism and writing. I am the author of City Life: A Perspective from Baltimore, 1968-1978. Publishing is my life's work. I entertain a vision of a linkage of readers and writers around the world. Fairfax Magazine: the international magazine of short stories, short novels and poetry.

It has been a tremendous effort to get the magazine started and running, but I am committed to its continuity and success over the long haul, no matter the length of time required or the strenuousness of the effort. I have excellent stories and short novels I intend to run. With the aid of technology, I have the editorial side of the magazine in hand. Now, I am moving to market the magazine internationally. I intend to publish the next generation of international and American writers. Once the stories, excerpts and poems are published, I send copies of the magazine to large, midsize and small book publishers.

A cardinal purpose of my magazine is to get writers published into book form who deserve to be published.

An excellent example of what can be accomplished with a magazine such as Fairfax is what I call the "Stonewall" Jackson story. This is an article about the latter-day black family of the Civil War hero. An excerpt from a story about the general was published in the first magazine issue. A publisher other than I saw the excerpt. Soon thereafter the story became a book.

This magazine has been founded and is operated with you---the reader, writer and poet---in mind. Our writers and our readers are our focus. In order to continue, this magazine needs your support. In turn, I will be able to give you the kind of exposure, prominence and display you need and deserve.

Are you interested in fiction? Do you want to read a variety of good short novels, short stories and poetry? Do you like a good story on a cold night? Or, on a warm summer's day? Do you want to read new authors with new and unique plots with new and entertaining characters? Do you want to introduce students, other young people and adults to the world of literature with stories from a magazine that is on the cutting edge of society?

One (1) copy of each story should be submitted on 8 1/2" x 11" paper with a one-inch margin on each side. A return envelope with the proper postage should be included. Your manuscript should also be sent on a 3.5" double density Macintosh-formatted disk; however, typed material creating a sharp, dark impression will also be accepted.
