Enchanted Conversation: A Fairy Tale Magazine is dedicated to bringing new fairy-tale inspired stories to fans of all things fae and fairy. Poets and writers and readers from all over the world visit EC.
I'm Kate Wolford, editor and publisher of Enchanted Conversation. I'm also a teacher of fairy tales, and and have written or edited four fairy tale and folklore books. Amanda Bergloff, contributing editor and art director, helps keep EC looking great and helps with editing.
Enchanted Conversation contributes to the culture of fairy tale fandom that is thriving worldwide. We give new and established authors a voice for exploring new tales and points of view about folklore. And, unlike many online publications, we pay for content.
But EC is extremely expensive, even on a razor thin budget. Ideally, we'd like to pay our contributors more than the current $30 for stories and $10 for poems. And Amanda receives very little for her efforts, while I bear the costs of the publication entirely, losing thousands of dollars per year. We want the financial aspects of the site to be better for all. And more money means better pay and bigger issues.
Enchanted Conversation provides entertaining, fresh content, exquisite art, both old and new, and a market for creative people. But it can't survive any longer without your help. So I'm asking you:
Will you donate $10 or more today to help EC continue?
