New zine: SURVIVAL BY STORYTELLING November 1, 2009
Posted by mbranesf in : announcements, queer-friendly publishers , trackbackWe received this report today from Alliance member Shaun Duke about a new magazine for younger writers:
“I thought it would be a good idea to let you all know about the
release of the first issue of the magazine I have been working on.
It’s called Survival By Storytelling. Our announcement for the
release, with all the info on where it’s being sold, about our being
non-profit, and what we print (fiction and poetry by writers 25 years
old or younger, with some commissioned pieces by published authors)
can be found here: http://sbsmag.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/survival-by-storytelling-issue-one-is-up-for-sale/
“Spread the word, if you like. We also may have review copies
available if you have a review blog or a magazine with a review column
or something. Preferably digital, because we are non-profit, but I
will have a handful of hard copies in a week or so.
“The reason I bring this up is that, while our first issue doesn’t, as
far as I know, contain fiction by or about LGBT authors/issues, our
magazine is very open to LGBT authors/issues. The only thing we
explicitly don’t take are erotica and works with excessive levels of
gore or foul language (cursing is fine, as long as it has a purpose).
We will be opening submissions again soon, depending on how well the
first issue does, but I wanted you all to know about it, in case any
of you are young enough to submit. Our submission guidelines are
here: http://sbsmag.wordpress.com/guidelines/
“For us, a good story is a good story. So, just to clarify, when we
say we are open to things like science fiction or, as I’m saying here,
LGBT fiction, we mean it! (I’m personally an SF fan, but the magazine
is open to all genres specifically because the parent group, Young
Writers Online, isn’t SF specific, so, I have to play nice).
“Thanks for your time and hopefully I’ll see some fiction from Outer
Alliance members in the near future!”
