Greetings you all from the NFB Writers' Division. I'm coming on board your
list with a specific goal in mind. "Slate & Style," the winter issue of our
quarterly magazine will be coming out and we need a piece in there about
journalism. This could be a "how to do" article, or something along the
lines of a memoir/personal essay piece about being a blind journalist. So
hey, got something sitting on your hard drive looking for a publishing home?
Or are you feeling up to taking on a new deadline that is guaranteed to
bring on those tingling feelings that come about when you get into the
mind-mode that comes with the excitement of a new project? Get something to
us --- for an article it can be up to 1,500 words, and for a memoir/personal
essay it can be up to 3,000 words.
For further information write me at newmanrl at cox.net, or Editor Bridgit
Pollpeter at bpollpeter at hotmail.com
--Submission requirements:
. Include a title page along with your submission with author
name, title of piece and contact info-phone, email and address.
. Please include a brief bio of yourself-no more than 150 words.
Do not send an entire history, just include key items you feel are important
for readers to know.
. All email submissions must be attachments and sent to
bpollpeter at hotmail.com. Do not paste entries into the body of an email.
. In the subject line, write: Slate & Style submission, name,
title.
. Use Microsoft Word or create an RTF document for all
submissions.
(January 15th is the deadline for our Winter issue.)
Thank you!
