Manifold is a new printed Zine bringing together varied creative explorations of a chosen topic.
The first topic is focused around Repair. We’re launching May 2013.

In beginning the dialogue, we offer the idea that repair includes recognition and restoration.
~ Recognition of: the worth and beauty of an entity, situation, person, place, thing or idea
~ Restoration as: a commitment to an entity’s natural state of balance and harmony

We’re specifically interested in images and/or text relating to any interpretation of the topic.
We’re open to other media, such as video and audio.

Please submit online by March 9th via Manifold.Submittable.com
We’re accepting the following file types: PDF, jpg, mp3, m4a, tiff, mov, avi, mp4 and zip.
Images should be at least 300dpi with the largest dimension at 10 inches.

Please send any questions to [e-mail]

Thank you! Feel free to distribute this Call for Submissions

My mother died last month, and I've found that writing about my feelings has really helped me deal with the grief and loss I'm experiencing. I'm aware that bereavement can be a difficult and lonely journey, so I'm really keen to put together a zine about our experiences of death, and the feelings that affect us when we lose a loved one.

So...if you'd like to contribute anything, be it prose, poetry, art etc., let's get some material together and get a great collaborative zine together. It's a powerful subject and I'm sure we could do something great, dedicated to the memories of the ones we've lost.

Call For Submissions: OBSOLETE! Magazine #8
Deadline: April 29th, 2013
Issue #8 theme: Obsolete Media: It's Alive!

Greetings!

Issue #7 of OBSOLETE! has reached a record number of readers, with 3000 copies being distributed across the US and Canada through our Guerilla Distribution Network. Now, it's time to get to work on our next issue. Loosely themed "Obsolete Media: It's Alive!", we are looking for essays, fiction, poetry, photographs and comics. Let me stress that it is not required to address that theme directly, so don't let that hang you up. All submissions will be considered. Feel free to pitch ideas before submitting.

Essays and non-fiction pieces could include subjects like shortwave, CB or pirate radio, zines, vinyl, broadcast TV, film photography, letterpress printing and/or new uses for old communications technology or interactive formats of any sort. Sports, theatre, music, publishing, politics– it's all open for discussion. We will also be including reviews of books, recording, films and "doopers" (your favorite old-school devices).

Fiction need not be science fiction, but anything that might be considered "slipstream" or speculative fiction is welcome. Flash fiction is welcome.

Thanks to the generosity of the Iowa Arts Council, we have a small grant that allows us to increase our contributor payments for this issue. The new payment amounts for previously unpublished materials are:

$1.50 per line for poems or $7.50 per 350 words of prose (minimum payment for either genre is $20, maximum $150). Artwork ranges from $20 for 1/8 page to $150 for a full page. We will also swap advertising for your book, website or other project in lieu of cash payment.

Previously published work is welcome and will be considered, but does not qualify for cash payment. We can trade advertisement for previously published work in some cases.

Suggested Lengths:
Essays/non-fiction - 3000 words
Fiction -3000 words
Reviews- max 1000 words.

Please email your submissions, questions or comments to [e-mail]
