Atlantic startup The Deep close to its crowdsourcing goal

The Deep, the magazine startup for Atlantic stories by Atlantic writers, is about 25% away from its initial fundraising goal, with 25% of their $15,000 goal remaining to be contributed and about the same amount of time remaining in the campaign. So far, some 183 backers have contributed to the Kickstarter campaign. 

The intent is to publish one big, longform story every month starting in the new year.The Deep is a partnership between Halifax's The Coast magazine and writer/editors Chelsea Murray and Matthew Halliday, whose CVs as editors and writers include The Grid, Canadian Business, Quill & Quire, Toronto Life, the Toronto Star, This Magazine, The Walrus, and many more.
