Hi Hubbers,

It's almost an year since we moved to the new Hub, and now it's time to try newer avenues. On behalf of the Hub team, I feel great pleasure in announcing the launch of our new venture, The Hub Magazine! A magazine just for our cherished site - the Hub. It is an effort to publish creative and quality works from topics such as Literature, History & Culture, Classical Music, etc. Did you wish you had help to get wide readership for your works but through an inexpensive medium? Do you write excellent material in your blog, but wished your stuff was read by more than a trickle? The Hub Magazine is the answer! Submit your stuff - articles/essays, poems, stories or any good creative material, and reach out to a huge audience at the Hub, one of the most active and widely-acclaimed Indian sites on the web.

In case you are wondering how is this different from posting on the Hub: The Hub Magazine is intended to complement the Hub. For example, you may be a regular hubber who got intrigued by something that you read on the forums and wanted a more in-depth treatment. Or, you might've wished for a medium more formal than the forums/threads to publish some of your best material. Just submit them to The Hub magazine.

At present, we don't have much restrictions on the topics except that we seek to be a notch above other similar efforts and not be run-of-the-mill. There are also plans to publish the magazine in print form (subject to copyright issues). So, many exciting things to come. We look forward to your support in this new endeavour.

For the debut issue, we have compiled articles, stories and poems from some of the best hubbers for your reading pleasure. There is also a Haiku contest in which you can participate and win prizes. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did putting it together.

Please help promote this effort by passing on the link to your friends, and related discussion groups/forums/mailing lists.

Thanks,
-RR
