evening everyone,
After cutting, and pasting a really crappy newsletter together, I finally just said "screw it" and decided a blog would be the most convenient and less wasteful route. In that really sad, homemade newsletter, I discussed what the content of the los de abajo magazine would be, with the help of some ideas added by others, as well as due dates, and ways to collect submissions. Here is what I had written:
If I've spoken to you, it's because I want your help with a zine I'm finally starting. The zine will be full of writing, reviews, art, interviews and whatever else you or I can think of! I don't want this to be an exclusive outlet, but something anyone can read and relate to, in some way or another.
I tried thinking of an appropriate deadline, and 3 days ago, May 1st sounded perfect but then I realized that date was extremely soon, I work two jobs and this is brand new to me, I need more time! Hopefully you can use the extra time to work on/polish anything you'd like to submit. Now, my next date in mind would be June 1st...how does that sound? much better, if you ask me! By then we may have a logo, a layout and plenty of contributors(please and thanks)!
contact me/the zine through here or the email, los.de.abajo.zine@gmail
*thinking about the first issue makes me so excited about the second! oh yeah, and if you have zine ideas or advice, please throw them my way :)
what are the submission guidelines? :)
ReplyDeleteI would say, since we have two months to construct this zine, getting submissions in by may 1st will be the best. Tomorrow I'll be interviewing someone!
ReplyDeleteMeant to say mid-April was my first deadline date but then I put the actual deadline date, May 1st. So it really is May 1st, and June 1st is what I'm shooting for!
