INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS PUBLISHERS INEPENDIENTES III IV
It Time to talk to David Ortiz Celestino, the talented editor of the magazine Dogs dawn
RMS: What edited in Mexico when the statistics do not report high readership in our country?
David Ortiz Celestino : The issue to edit, search for authors, try to get sponsorships to survive (or resistive) is always compensated when you discover that in our country, perhaps today more than ever there is a proliferation of great writers, authors are very successful are undoubtedly sufficient pretext for almost anyone to read. Even more rewarding is to see that literature-which is the subject that interested me has been decentralized in a manner barbarous. Today is no categorical imperative to go to Mexico City to see what is happening in the country. Take only a matter of out to convince other states that good literature has no designation of origin, but fortunately is feeling very good health in general. In Mexico, the percentage of reading has been historically low, however, I find it hard to decline, by contrast, are more likely to be on the rise now that there are highly efficient means to disseminate it. The instruments are there, just a matter of the editor put his talents into play and make things relevant.
RMS: is said that independent publishers are the habitat of Mexican literature, but also the work of the editor is very little recognized. What do you attribute this disparity between the effort expended and little reward received?
DOC: this disparity may be noted as a natural consequence that matters to the reader who is the author, it is visible. The best reward you can receive the editor (in addition to the economic, of course) is to have the author or authors who published (promoted, if seen from a pragmatic aspect) to be read. The fame, the recognition of an author, no doubt come along with the quality and commitment of its editor and the entire device rotates it around the publishing industry. When there are flaws in the book is when the editor comes to light. He who does not speak or reference signal or the editor is that things were good or that ultimately the book or newspaper is not worth it. In these last respects to personal opinion, is the most we should be concerned.
RMS: What is your perspective on e-books and internet? How do you think they affect your work as editor?
DOC: affect, yes, but in a positive sense. I think that if young people and adolescents, those familiar with new technologies, able to read a whole book in your e-book, if only for novelty, always a great achievement for any editor. The e-book, despite its high price, can be very useful, as it has the ability to load in it a number of electronic books or files that would otherwise be impossible to move. As for internet I think it is a working tool now unavoidable. As editor, such as display manager and literary, both blogs, podcasts, the web pages and Facebook become a great help to meet the authors who publish and make contact, locate and know what to write. It is difficult to do without them, especially if your job depends on establishing professional relationships with authors from other states and countries and to investigate what are contributing to culture. But also, like everything, is tricky. While the national literature has many great authors, there is also a scandalous proliferation of people who tend to write quite unfortunate texts indiscriminately and brings her personal page or group, thereby achieving a wealth of information that gets complicated -not impossible, but quasi-editorial work. That's where our real work begins as an editor, which is to read, sort, rule and select from among all the good and the best
RMS: Do you think the web was able to move to the books and physical magazines?
DOC: think it's a "natural" process, but the paper does not disappear altogether. The reduction of this undoubtedly will be of great help, as will lower the indiscriminate deforestation and all its attendant evils. Looking
more romantic side, I think there will always be this need to have synaesthetic the physical book, reading it, smell it, touch it, to leaf through it, to manipulate, to include him as a fellow traveler, to resort to it without fear that the battery runs out or scratching the screen or falling to the floor and no longer serve. I think that nobody is willing to dispense with this type of stimuli.

so fast
These days not writing
sea and sand have been
paper pen and ink
clouds have been
and ink
wind
these four elements alone has made me grow
lines and shadows without ambition
the wind has been the master
and contemplation
clouds ineffable sea and sand
time since I have only to record the silence
waves and the murmur of sun tanned skin
in the eternal
was momentary and a second
eternity Nothing has been finally only
sound of silence and the scent of
absence of what once was
your reality so quickly

This time we talk to Cesar Tejeda, director of the journal Suicide
The RM What does editing in Mexico when the statistics do not report a large readership in our country? César Tejeda
: a couple of years ago I took a diploma in book publishing that gives the teacher Miguel Angel Guzman. In the first class, before going into the technical aspects of the subject, the professor said that in Mexico there were not enough readers because editors Mexicans are bad. When I heard that my first reaction was hesitation: "So we forget the cultural policies of nearly non-existent and inadequate educational policies? That name just a few of the things that tend to blame when it comes to Mexico and reading. " I still do not agree with that statement, I assume as partially true: the editors are only part of the blame. Anyway, I decided to take that idea into a professional level. Blame, blame all the publishers, drives me to work better. Edit means to create readers.
RMS: is said that independent publishers are the habitat of Mexican letters yet, the work of the editor is very little recognition. Which attribute this disparity between effort expended and little reward received.
CT: I think they are two different questions. Or at least in my experience they are. On the one hand I believe I am sufficiently recognized as an editor, although I'm underpaid, recognition does not involve money.
prefer not to think that evil will always be paid for my work. I choose the following projection: I'm starting today and the sacrifices represent benefits tomorrow. Maybe I'm wrong, but I see no way he could continue working if I'm always thinking that we fail economically.
RMS: What is your perspective with respect to e books and internet? How do you think they affect your work as editor?
CT: I started seeing it as a problem: my first publishing project was conceived on paper. We thought that the bombers should be a physical magazine first and foremost, even before they literature. Now we have a complex website and we think the future of publishing is there. One thing is indisputable: Since we rely on the internet we have tripled (conservative figure) our readers and what editor would not see that as a good thing? I started defending the paper, now advocate the literature.
RMS: It has been much speculation about the end of the paper web Do you think the move to achieve the physical books and magazines?
CT: Most of my friends spend more time in front of the computer facing a book. At least, considering most of my friends, books and magazines and were physically displaced.

independent publishers II
Literal continues with the recently established with editors of independent magazines. This time we talked to Federico de la Vega, director of reprints, journal of thought and artistic exercise.
RMS: What means edit in Mexico when the statistics do not report a large readership in our country?
Federico de la Vega: Look , edit Offprint by fascination, by the admiration I have for the writers, read for the pleasure of creative work from a critical perspective to select and sort each number. In me a need that caters to the taste for the job. This is the first impulse that motivates me to keep a monthly publication. The index reading
you mention is a situation that has always existed in our country and is a consequence of the policy. Mexico has very serious problems which in the very century XXI is a shame to recognize: public health, education, and job security mainly. While there is a more equitable distribution of wealth, the company can not address issues such as the appreciation of the exquisite art or reading, people are seriously concerned about finding a job in getting food for the day and obtain security social. A simple example: the government pretends to be concerned with developing programs to promote reading, think that a book costs about three hundred dollars and the money to eat a family of five for about three or four days, did you think that at least contemplate the idea of \u200b\u200breading? Of course not! Well well, about sixty percent of the population are in that situation, in which his only concern is survival. And not to mention other problems such as access to education is a very high rate of individuals who can not read. If the government were truly concerned that people read it, would pose a national project where the objective is a better quality of life of Mexicans, with better prospects and opportunities not only economic development but human.
RMS: is said that independent publishers are the habitat of Mexican letters yet, the work of the editor is very little recognition. What do you attribute this disparity between the effort expended and little reward received?
VSF: I think the work of one who publishes a literary magazine is a big commitment, because in Mexico we have a long tradition that has given prestigious journals in the quality of aesthetic and critical vision , many times these magazines have been the space where writers and artists who came were great track record. I think the editors who is to show contemporary literature, work in the shadow of these big magazines over the years and only we realize if we meet or not. In this sense, I do think that magazines that are independent "living space of Mexican literature" you mention, I think our job is to "find" new authors, the most interesting proposals that are emerging today, to converge in the political, social, economic and cultural by publication.
As it is so little recognized the work of the Editor, I would say that, personally, the recognition comes from the authors who accepted the invitation to publish and are grateful, and readers who are on the lookout for the magazine and come to give us feedback. The satisfaction is seeing the object, month after month, our mistakes and successes, and know that we can improve our work.
RMS: What is your perspective on the e books and internet? How do you think they affect your work as an editor?
VSF: not think much about those things. I think products like e books serve a market that is being created large industries to generate new consumer needs, they are concerned with generating economic wealth under the guise of making life easier. And if you think we shot only a 1200 copies of reprints, which are distributed from hand to hand, you realize we're not even in the same speech. Of course, such
products comply with a sensible function, such as communication or mobility of individuals without the need to curb their activities. But in this sense, there are two aspects to consider, one issue affects the reading and the other in the editorial work. With products like the e book is evident that through reading the changes, but the scholarly work is the same. Instead, the editorial work has a market defined by other characteristics and needs, in particular, to continue documenting the intellectual activity of generations over time, viewed the book as a cultural relic, regardless of supply and market demand.
RMS: Much has been speculated about the end of the paper. Do you think that the website was able to move to physical books and magazines?
VSF: No, I do not. I think the website is to distribute information on a massive scale, to facilitate communication between people. Instead, books and magazines used to give pleasure, a rare pleasure, indeed. Man is a creature of sense and will always have the need to smell the paper, feel it, when reading, and literature is that reading is the act of reflecting on the man himself, recognized in the various activities and situations that characterize as a human being. I think the book is the great man's project.
