We are saddened to hear of the death of Carmen Callil, co-founder of Virago Press, who was a judge of both the Booker and International Booker Prizes. She did more for literature by women - and by extension for everyone - than almost anyone in the latter half of the 20th century

That's it for season three. We're now dizzy. Thanks to the contributors. A party is upcoming to mark three years of Tar Press. Everyone welcome. More on that later. For now, here's a thread of the stories we've published so far. Most recent first. (1/15)

The Glorious Wall of Champions. Not to go full Jimmy Wales, but we need to attract some donations – to pay writers properly, and to be considered for grants. If you like Tar, please consider. £50 gets you on this wall, but £5 is also very great. (1/3) tarpress.co.uk/p/glorious-wal…
