Hello again.
Today I'm going to talk about a funky little website called Ars Omnia. It was started by a bunch of artsy New Yorkers who wished to "expand the domain of human creativity." Yup.
Basically, they felt that there were a lot of people with unique ideas that weren't getting the attention and support they deserved, and thusly weren't able to be published. So they decided to help out by creating a website that actually bothered to listen to these people instead of writing them off as "non-profitable."
Now, why does that matter? Well, for one thing it can give individuals who normally wouldn't have a chance at being heard…well, a chance to be heard. Always a bonus. And there's also the added benefits of receiving feedback from those who a) actually know what they're talking about, and b) bother to actually give feedback. Huzzah!
But arguably the most important thing here is receiving a chance to be published. Hoo boy, now we're talking. A lot of what Ars Omnia features is unusual and/or experimental writing, which (as previously mentioned) is often considered non-profitable by major publishing companies. Because of this, authors of these kinds of work are often left out in the cold. And that's where Ars Omnia comes in!
Anyway, check it out of you have the time. Right now would be good. *Hint* It's linked above. *Hint*
