Information
“Amateur Journalism is for those who cultivate literature from taste or attachment, for those who write for the love of writing, for these who pursue the art of letters for its own sake. They may or may not be engaged (or aspire to be engaged) in authorship as a business, but those who are members of that profession will undoubtedly find in Amateur Journalism the air of freedom which develops personality in writing. They will find every encouragement to self-development amid an environment of art. Amateur Journalism is for all those who do literary work for the love of it.”
