Forest with a new issue. History, magic, drama, humor, Robin of Loxley
or Robert of Huntingdon - all are welcome! Deadline is August 2011,
publication is November 2011.
Submission Guidelines:
Prose: Material should be gen only, ratings up to PG-13. All material
must be original - not previously published or posted to the net. All
contributors will be asked to hold off posting to the net for a minimum
of one year following publication and if you want to post it at that
point I will be happy to host it or provide you with the final
manuscript so you can post it wherever you like. Manuscripts can be
submitted electronically - no worries on formattingC as I can format
manuscripts to suit myself upon receipt. And of course all submissions
will be edited for grammar, spelling, plot, characterization and
content. I'll work with the authors to polish the stories. Each zine is
limited in size so I will have to be selective regarding length but
until I see what's coming my way I'm not going to set any size limits.
I will consider poetry and filks.
Art: Art must be hand-drawn material: pen and ink, charchoal, coloror
other media. No computer-generated art or blends - these zines are
intended to celebrate the classic fanzines of the '70s and '80s and
that includes art. I've already got cover art for almost every zine
but I'm interested in portfolio art, poster art (up to 11" x 17"), and
illustrations. I will also consider cartoons. Please note that like
prose, art must not have been published or posted elsewhere prior to
publication.
For more info, see
Deb's website.
