Submission Overview

!

To give you some idea of what I'm looking for here is a quick list ...

  • Cover Art : I would like to feature a different artist's work on the cover of each issue.
  • Interior Art : Images for a variety of illustration purposes within the zine itself.
  • Artist Showcase : Including biography info, interview questions and artwork samples.
  • Author Showcase : Similar to above except for authors.
  • Interviews : Interview section where I talk to various artists, authors, editors and fans.
  • Reviews : I welcome any opinions on books and movies relating to fantasy, sci-fi and horror.
  • Articles : Discussion of any suitable topics.
  • Cartoon Strips : Just to add a bit of extra humour to each issue!
  • Short Stories : I aim to support budding new writers by publishing their work in the zine.

  • Advertising : Websites or stores that sell fantasy, SF or horror related products.
  • Various Other : If you think of any other suitable themes then feel free to suggest.

Fees/Payments

This project is non-profit and as such there will be no payments available to contributors I'm afraid.
I am relying on the generosity of free content to keep this alive. Plus it's extra free exposure for your work!

All submissions will of course remain Copyright of each contributor and will be clearly labelled in the eZine.
If you would like to contribute then I will be most grateful for your support! Please contact me with your submissions.

Sending Work

Please do NOT e-mail me any image or file attachments UNTIL told to do so, as they will be automatically deleted by my spam filters! Send me a plain text e-mail first to introduce yourself and include an overview of what you would like to submit. Plus if possible let me know the URL of your website where I can view samples of your work online. I will then get back to you and provide further instructions regarding the final submissions.

Formatting Rules

Short stories and book extracts should be saved in Rich Text (*.rtf) format. Use single line spacing and do NOT use underline instead of italics. General news or other features can be sent in the body of an e-mail or attached in Plain Text (*.txt) format, unless you need to show formatted text in which case you can send in Rich Text.

All artwork should be saved in JPEG (*.jpg) format and be approx 600 pixels wide by 800 pixels high max, but higher-res images are welcome. Make sure any cover pieces have enough area at the top to allow for the title overlays.
