What can I do to help the Turtle to thrive?
There are many ways in which
readers can Befriend the Turtle and help her -- possibly him -- to flourish.
If you have something you'd
like to have considered for publication in the Turtle, please email
it to the Editors. There
is nothing more satisfying to an Editor of the Turtle than receiving well-written
original and entirely unsolicited TurtleProse. We're always on the lookout
for new Articles, Reviews of books, films and plays, Dictionary Entries,
Poems and Salutes, and we are always interested in having new contributors,
who bring fresh voices to the Chorus of the Turtle.
But even if you don't have
the time or the inclination to send us your Words for the Turtle, there
are many other ways in which our Readers, Friends and Supporters can be
useful and productive members of our virtual community, and we urge you
to ponder these carefully:
Bookmark the site!
An excellent way to remind yourself to return to the Turtle again and
again...
Subscribe to the Turtle!
Click here to add your name
to the Turtle's mailing list for our Bulletins, to be informed and inspired
in equal measure each month. Your name and email address will be treated
confidentially and not passed on to anyone else.
Tell your friends!
Most people who join our subscription list seem to have found their
Way to the Turtle by enthusiastic word of mouth. Since we don't use
paid advertising of any kind, it is enormously helpful when people who
find themselves enjoying the Turtle start spreading the news.
Propagate our Opinions!
You should feel free to email the text of any article to a friend
whom you think will benefit from its careful study. Feel free to post
any article to a relevant newsgroup or chatlist -- though please make
sure the source -- voiceoftheturtle.org -- is clearly indicated in your
posting. We're usually only too happy for people to find not-for-profit
uses for the Material of the Turtle.
Tell us! Give us
feedback
on what you liked, and what you didn't. We don't get nearly enough of
this. Alternatively...
Send us your news! The
Noticeboard
of the Turtle [coming soon!] will be an ideal place for the Community
of the Turtle to inform each other and the world of their latest births,
marriages and deaths, migrations, publications, and strike activity.
Translate our articles!
While the principal Language of the Turtle remains English, we'd
be delighted to publish translations of our pages for the benefit of
a polyglot international readership, and a few dual language pages do
exist scattered around the site.
Donate! The Turtle
is nothing if not cheap, and remains entirely not-for-profit. But the
editors have a few regular expenses to pay -- including $10 per month
to the fine people at Schogini.com who host the site -- and we'd like
to be able to contribute towards our Contributors' expenses, too. A
Turtle Bank Account is on its way. Get in touch if you'd like to be
one of the Bankrollers of the Turtle. Enormous psychic satisfaction
guaranteed.
