From: clintdw@mentor.cc.purdue.edu (Clinton Wong) Subject: experimental publication Date: 9 Oct 92 06:06:32 GMT Interested in writing for an experimental cyberpunk magazine? A Chicago based desk top publishing group is interested in starting a publication focused on post industrial society, cyberpunkism, and dark technology. If all goes as planned, the magazine will be distributed in many different cities. Some will be overseas. At the moment, the magazine staff is looking for article writers. If your article is published in the experimental issue, you will receive a complimentary copy via U.S. mail. Articles can be about anything... Suggestions: cyberpunkism, futurism, dynamic and alternative thinking, philosophy, creative arts, video/sound generation, security, etc. It doesn't matter if it is fictional, technical, political, persuasive, narrative, emotional, or anything else. The publication is intended to be a free form paper with abstract style. The magazine will be printed on standard 8.5 x 11 paper with decent page layout, graphics, and strong text. The paper will be distributed at key locations and will be scanned later for reader evaluation. What benefit do you get from article submission? At this stage, the staff doesn't have any funds to give out... but if you submit articles now, you have a chance in obtaining a permanent writing position in a potentially prestigious magazine. If the experiment concludes as predicted, this magazine will be very rewarding to those who invest early. Please send your articles as early as possible. Final deadline is November 15th, 1992. Don't e-mail and ask me about what kind of writing I'm looking for. As mentioned above, this is a medium by which creative, alternative, and dynamic thoughts thrive in. Send what you feel is satasfactory to your own standards. If you're serious about this advert, send us an article or two of your own work. In your submission, include the following information in the beginning of your transmission: (1) Name - This is essential. (2) Pseduoname (optional) - This is included if you want to mention your user id (login) that might be famous. If you don't have a pseudo or if you feel it is unimportant to mention it, don't include it. Your name will be published for credit to the article. If you include your pseudo, it will also be published along with your name. (3) Net-address - This is for communication purposes (4) Physical addr - This is so we can sent a complimentary copy if your article is published. (5) Release information - for the protection of the writer and publisher (a) is this text published elsewhere? (b) does the staff have permission to edit and publish your article in the magazine? (c) are there potential legal problems? Such as plagiarism? (6) Phone # (optional) - a means of communication (this is more personal than e-mail. You might receive a call.) Thank you for taking the time to read this advert. Please send article submission to: clintdw@mentor.cc.purdue.edu.
