Quote, unquote:On burnout and lunch money

"We have been paying most of our writers only $25 per review for 27 issues now, and the editors didn’t even make lunch money. The prospect of positive change in the magazine’s financial health was, in my view, small, far-off and dependent on significant heavy lifting. I burned out.”

-- Maurice Mierau, editor of The Winnipeg Review, explaining why the online publication is ceasing publication after the current issue. [from Quill & Quire]. The Review was founded in 2010.
