LONDON GRIP DATA LOSS – OUR RESCUE PLAN SO FAR
Following a failed software update at our web hosting company, all items posted on London Grip since Autumn 2023 have been lost. However we will try to repair as much as we can. NOW READ ON …
We now have few hopes of all the missing posts suddenly being found intact down the side of the sofa! But we have managed to restore the most recent posting of London Grip New Poetry which should be good news for those poets whose work had only just been published when the crash occurred. We are also fairly sure that in time we can restore the nine or ten missing editions of LGNP
What is going to happen next? We will try to restore the most recent of the lost posts where we still have the raw material. But the archive we have is rather random and patchy so we can make no promises about specific items. There probably won’t be any new posts or restorations on the site in the next couple of weeks while we decide what we can salvage. But please keep checking in to watch this space…
At the moment it is still our intention to open the poetry submission window in January with a view to the next posting of new poetry happening on schedule in March. And we hope to be able to receive new film, theatre and poetry reviews early in the new year. We will try to keep readers informed via updates to this post and also via announcements on our Facebook page.
With all good wishes
