Information about your publication |
In India, like elsewhere in the world, the function of media has changed dramatically ? or perhaps catastrophically ? in the last ten years. Newspapers and magazines, once independent witnesses, are now mere conduits for the single, approved and flawlessly inflected voice booming from the apex of the pyramid of power. Meanwhile, the reality which they had originally set out to depict is being covered far better in other media. It is available in fiction, theatre, film, essays, poetry and documentary. These are forms that the mainstream, in its search for the guaranteed watertight business plan, has taught itself to shun. In the absence of a culture of translation, it has also not been available to the rest of the world. And so there was a need ? though usually unfelt ? for an independent publication which could offer this material in a world language.</p> <p>eFiction India is the only professionally produced independent magazine devoted to essays, fiction, poetry, art and criticism. It is also the only publication to offer full-length novellas and film and drama scripts, complete with camera and stage directions. The magazine is conceived as a dialogue ? a platform which carries the best of contemporary writing in India. It is not India-specific and addresses a community which is more easily defined in terms of mindspace rather than in purely geographical terms. Our readers have only one common denominator: they are sensitive and are looking for something more than what mainstream publishing can provide them. Sign Up and Send In |
