CATAMARAN is coming in July!
A note from the editors Shona Ramaya and Rajini Srikanth:

"We knew that there was a tremendous need for a print magazine of this kind, and so we launched CATAMARAN. The submissions we received proved us right--they were not only of excellent quality, but so many, that we were stunned! Some were unpublished writers and some were published writers. So we are introducing brilliant new talent as well as established writers in our first issue, and this is exactly what we wanted to do. We've been sending out a notice for complimentary copies as we want to give out many, many, complimentary copies of our first issue, and we are trying to reach an audience of several thousand this first round. The response so far has been overwhelming. I think the readers of this magazine will be delighted when they receive a copy of CATAMARAN. They will have on their coffee tables not only a beautiful book, but a very exciting one that is THE magazine for the new South Asian voice in America." ------------------------------
