I think we feel really honoured actually because we kind of sort of just thought we'll set up a magazine and now we have these, from the first submission really, we have these absolutely incredible writers who give up their time and they give their work to us and they let us look after it.

Sometimes we make changes and

We do all these check changes.

No, but we, they sort of, they put so much effort into their work and it's just fantastic.

And I mean, so I'm really proud of the final products, but I'm also, I'm proud of the process and I'm proud of our writers and I feel really honoured that we have writers and we have illustrators who don't get paid for it one day.

One day we're going to be able to pay people and that is one of our biggest wishes, really.

I think, I mean it's partly we do put a lot of time into considerably editing and but we also like we like our writers they're just they're lovely people and I mean I know I met Jess three bar of places in a rather bizarre moment when I handed over my library card and she recognised my name and

We have other writers who I've never met, but who I have a wonderful email correspondence with.

And I think that that's part of it.

You very rarely, and if this ever happens, it's an accident, send something off to us and it goes into the ethos.

We will always reply and say, thank you, we've got this, we look forward to reading it.

And we mean that and we will always reply with honest feedback and friendly feedback.

And if you don't get feedback, it's normally because we can't put our finger on what doesn't quite click for the magazine.

We're rapidly going to become more cynical.

Groundbreaking future.

Groundbreaking, heartbreaking.

We buy you drinks.

The platform payment is... We also try to put on events when we can.

So most recently we had the launch of Sartorial.

I think Sartorial's had the best events actually so far.
