We had an great idea to create a print magazine featuring fiction, poetry, photography and interviews with new and emerging writers & artists -- thus 34thParallel Magazine was born. But we had one big problem--we live on different continents! But, using Gmail as our working office we receive submissions, edit copy, contact authors and successfully collaborate using Google Docs. It's great to be able to simultaneously edit text and chat at the same time. The unlimited space allows us to receive, send, and save, photos, pdfs and magazine layouts. Gmail has made it possible for us to create a print magazine in virtual space, even though we've never worked in the same room. To date we've received hundreds of submissions and published work from almost 100 authors on 6 different continents! Our magazine would still be a dream without Gmail!
