im starting a new quarterly publication. hopefully more often if i can get enough material. first issue is scheduled for jan 2012, so i figure i got at least four issues to put out before the world ends.
anyway here's the scoop:
anything you've ever wanted to say, have published, display, portray... anything i dont care what it is. basically if you can physically post it online like a blog or a tumblr or whatever, you can put it in this magazine. I got 48 pages to fill and will not be judging anything. if you submit it, it will get posted as long as its not hardcore porn or a direct threat on someones life. last names will be omitted from everything unless verified permission is given for all submissions.
imagine it like a website blog for everyone, except its on paper and i'll be distributing it anywhere and everywhere i can with the intent of making people think and pissing people off.
photos, artwork, political or religious jargon, music or album reviews, thesis statements, blog entries, rants and raves, erotica, fiction, non-fiction, textual documentary, anything. you think of it, i'll put it in this magazine.
havent settled on a name yet but its down to "AGIRLWITHDOWNS@GMAIL.COM" and "PUBIC"
all submissions can go to "AGIRLWITHDOWNS@GMAIL.COM" for the time being. i may make a new email address to name the booklet after and accept all submissions so that way i dont have to waste space explaining it in the magazine itself.
Ive been taking submissions for over a month now and all i have so far is a page out of a girls diary from when she was 13 and finally "discovered life" and a few poems from a friend of mine. I have promises from others for some really good stuff but no one has submitted anything else. i would hope that with all the shit everyone here has to say, i can depend on you guys to submit stuff, anonymously if you want even. just so i can fill this magazine.
and yes, i will be leaving copies anywhere i see fit. if you submit something, and you want a copy or few once its printed and completed, just add your physical mailing address with a request for how many copies you might want, because even if you just walk around leaving them places, thats good too.
any thoughts/ideas?
also the book will be all black and white, 8.5x5.5 pages so of course 8.5x11 spreads will be available. i'll make that judgement myself based on the material received. i will be designing, laying out, and printing them and binding them and distributing them all by myself with no outside help or advertisement. it will be a free publication. if you would like to advertise anything in the book, i will refuse unless it is your bands new album or your own personal publication. i will not support anything that is trying to make a profit on anything.
