Billy and Greg met at work eighteen months ago. They soon realized they had more than an employer in common: “We both love books and arguing about culture, and we realized a lot of other people love these things too,” Billy says. The guys launched an online literary magazine at raleighquarterly.com to give those people an outlet for their creativity. “These are the people who make RTP go, but they live a secret life as artists,” says Billy. Greg concurs: “It’s great to get work from people with MFAs, but even greater when you get someone who’s a lawyer in the day and writes at night.”
What’s the best thing about wearing a skirt?
Billy: “I’m well-dressed in the undergarment department, so wearing a skirt means there’s a better chance someone will see them.”
Greg: “Fancy-ness.”
What’s the best thing about reading skirt!?
Billy: “I find it a little more accessible than the Paris Review.”
Greg: “I’ve been told many-a-time I don’t understand women, so it gives me some insight into the next time I’m going to be called an %$#*&^@.”
