Ne’er Do Well Doing Well

Want to know how to get a literary magazine started, here might be a good person to ask: “The Ne’er Do Well founder and editor and superwoman extraordinaire Sheila Ashdown has really outdone herself. TNDW started out as a one-woman operation and thanks to a call for volunteers has grown to a staff of a half a dozen people. Issue No. 2 features the work of Eve Rosenbaum, Lacey Jane Henson, Maggie Morgan, Kara Weiss, Stephen D. Kelly, Jane Rosenberg LaForge and yours truly, former NewPages contributor, Dan Moreau.” Also available from TNDW is this funky-cool two-color, limited-edition 11×17 poster featuring the full text of Ryan Davidson’s “El Niño Walks Into a Bar” and a custom illustration by artist Keith Rosson. Signed, numbered, and “perfect for covering up a medium-sized hole in any wall in your home or business.” A simple seven bucks, shipping included. I ordered mine.
