Issue #1 closed, now accepting submission for #2

Submissions for issue #1 – Salvaged Love are now closed.  Layout starts this week and will be completed by the end of January, if not much sooner.  The first issue is looking great and we’ll begin reading for Issue #2 – All Things Green on January 1st.

Guidelines:

3/30 all things green (positive consumption): local produce, organic food, easy eco-friendly actions, marijuana reform laws, bike laws and lanes, fair vs. free trade, hemp, recycling, environmentally-friendly companies [released: 5/15/07]

We are planning a special feature on marijuana.  We will be accepting flash fiction of up to 500 words and poetry of up to 25 lines as well as non-fiction and editorial-style articles concerning issues related to marijuana:  hemp as a renewable resource, reforming marijuana laws, history of marijuana laws, effects of marijuana, benefits / drawbacks of consumption, Amsterdam, etc.

Contracts sent! Still accepting subs

After several hours of staring at the computer screen, I’ve finally sent out the contracts for the first issue to most of the people who contributed.  These need to be printed, signed, and returned by January 1st, 2007.  We are still accepting submissions through Christmas Day, but space is quickly filling and already we are showcasing the work of nearly twenty people.  Not bad!  I’ve started editing the work for issue #1, and local artist Gabriel Felice has agreed to design our cover.  We’ve even had a couple of contributions for issues #2 and #3.  Sweet!
