“However it’s done, entrepreneurs have to find ways to transcend a system that historically has lacked vision and nerve—a system that currently marks every book selling less than twenty or twenty-five thousand copies as “disappointments.” Too many relatively successful and highly regarded books end up handicapping editors’ and authors’ careers. Something is wrong in a business that generates this much failure.”

- Speer Morgan, writing in The Missouri Review

Honestly, we don’t know if there is a desire out there for Slow Fire. So, over the coming weeks, we’re going to be talking about it, telling people about it, and seeing if they’re interested.

We believe that you should be interested: this is how many other industries drive creativity and foster change. And there will be beer. And quite possibly pizza.

But we might be wrong.

If you’re interested, please join the mailing list. If you’re not, or you can’t attend, but you know someone who is or can, please tell them about us. Even if you’re not in London, but the idea interests you, stay in touch. We may need you later.

In a few weeks time, we’ll see what the response has been like, and start thinking about the first meeting.

Please leave a comment if you have something to say, if you think we’ve got something wrong, or if you’ve got a question. We look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers, and hope to meet you soon.

There will be more here soon.

In the meantime, read all about Slow Fire, and join the mailing list above if you’re interested.
