Best Music Writing Goes Indie

Do you love the Best Music Writing series as much as we do?

Series Editor and music critic extraordinaire Daphne Carr has just announced that the venerable annual collection will no longer be published by Da Capo Press, so she’s started a campaign to raise startup funds for a brand new music journalism focused indie press!

From the announcement: “The 2012 edition will be the first book for a new, music writing-focused press, of which Best Music Writing will be the flagship title. We need support from followers of the title, music fans, music writers, music publishers, the music industry, and independent publishers to get started.” Read the entirety of Carr’s post here.

If you love music writing, now’s your chance to help out!
