From a 2011 article by Laura van den Berg about Vol. 5: "Paper Darts founders Jamie Millard, Regan Smith, and Meghan Suszynski are 'taking back the lit scene, one lame pen and quill metaphor at a time.' Since 2009 Paper Darts has produced a reliably gorgeous magazine, and the organization recently expanded to include a press, which will soon publish its first title, John Jodzio’s Get In If You Want To Live, a collection of 19 stories accompanied by illustrations from 19 artists. Jamie, Regan, and Meghan were kind enough to chat about widening readerships for literary magazines, succeeding in a crappy economy, Minneapolis, and bringing the fun back into literature." Laura: Paper Darts was founded in 2009. How did you get your start? Paper Darts: The three of us first met in 2008 while working on the staff of the Ivory Tower, the University of Minnesota’s undergraduate literary magazine. After graduating in May of ‘09 into a horrible economy, we were left with the feeling of -- Okay, now what? -- Putting the extra time our underemployment afforded us to good use, we set out to bring our community a new kind of literary magazine—something that embraced color, design, humor, and risk, and really utilized social media in a way we hadn’t seen much before. The whole process of getting started was extremely grassroots, mostly a matter of meeting in coffee shops and our apartments everyday and saying "let’s do this." We solicited work from our artist and writer friends until outside submissions began rolling in, taught ourselves web design and built paperdarts[dot]org, and embraced a print-on-demand model to keep costs in line with our budget of $0.00. We had a pretty diverse array of skills going into it (design/illustration, project management, writing, etc.) which have developed immensely over the past two years, but by far the most important thing we ever put into Paper Darts was a LOT of hard work".
