Spectacle - Magazine

Love this! Amazing domain as well. With YC, you had a system for how you'd evaluate and discover gems in the rough. Curious how you're thinking about the content curation process (especially when taking submissions) or if you have some heuristics already. What are you looking for? With Commaful, we had some editorial influence early on and found that there was often a tradeoff between creative or literary genius vs. what would be popular with the mainstream audience and get shared all over the web. How are you putting yourself in front of the best illustrators and creators and convincing them to submit (vs. to a more well known pub or lit mag)? A big barrier most new literary magazines run into.

Kevin and Danny are amazing.... I'm so excited for this product!

Pros:

Made by awesome people

Super exciting! I’m so excited for my first copy. How will you guys determine what topics to cover going forward?

Making Magazines Great Again!

Cool!

beautiful magazine, looking forward to the first issue!

yas! Thank you so much for creating this.

The first edition looked good. In May we had money taken from our CC so were excited to get the second edition. Nothing for a month. Several people asked on FB what was happening with no reply. Many of us had double the amoutn taken out thinking an edition would be delivered to a library. Now there is no magazine, no web site, and the FB page has been deleted. This seems like a dodgy set up to make a few bucks.

Pros:

First edition was good

Cons:

Took money for second edition but didn't deliver
