Open for submissions! HELLO WORLD ZINE: The celebration of the creative human spirit!

[Mike Jasorka]

Hey friends,

HELLO WORLD ZINE is a zine about to debut next year as an annual showcase of talent and expression from around the world... Join a large array of contributors involved in comics, art and poetry and the skies the limit to show the world if you have something to say!

Hello World will be using underground methodology, where the contributors pay a low rate of the number of books they wish to distribute themselves only at the cost of what they are to make... A profit to be made! That's for sure!

The format of the Zine is 8x10.5 with a full color/card stock wrap around cover (by Ross Marinaro for the first issue) and 32 pages of beautiful black & white newsprint inside chaulk-full of goodness!

So, do you have something to say or a cool drawing you have no place to fit anywhere in your publications? How bout that 3 or 4 page comic story waiting to be read?? SUBMIT IT!! You never know : )
THE DEADLINE IS MARCH 2009 !! SO GET EM' IN!!

Be sure to check out our website to get the full flavor & more information about submission guidelines here: www.helloworldzine.com !

Thanks, and i look forward to meeting you and so does the world!!

Hey!
It's as simple as this...
You submit a piece (comics,art,poetry)
Your piece is accepted (let's say) and upon the book hitting printing, we ask of you how many books you would like to buy off of us for the cost rate (very cheap) in which you can turn around and sell/distribute yourself at the cost in which you choose to sell it... Easily making a 200% profit for sure!
With it being a 32 page zine in black and white... you can expect close to 100 contributors all buying a bulk of books... That bulk will add up bringing the price down of each book to an affordable rate for everyone!
There is no minimum purchase as well...
I know what you're thinking.. "Pay for my art to be seen? Isn't my labor and work enough to pay for books in the book my work is going to be in??!" Well yes, but only to make a profit after you've payed with the labor involved : )
PLUS... there's another book on your table and more variety for your readers beyond what you have to offer alone : )

Thanks!
MJ.
