Issue 2 submission guidelines

Speaking of access, we ended up staying far from the Internet this week. But now that we’re back in Wifi zone, it’s time to gear up for tomorrow’s Issue 2 submission deadline.

If you’ve contributed to TK before, you already know the rules. If you don’t, never fear! We’ve reposted them below. Everybody please refresh yourselves, as a couple things have changed. Among them, “access” to the zine: Contributors are no longer limited to Syracuse students and teachers. 

Creating Your Work

  1. Writing. We will accept only PERSONAL AND CRITICAL ESSAYS this time around. There is no word count; please knock yourselves out.  As before, write in the active voice. We will ruthlessly edit for passive verbs/versions of “to be” and “to have.”
  2. Art. We will accept work in any style. Just remember that the zine’s pages are in fact vertical.
  3. Interpreting the theme. Interpretations can be non-literal and we encourage creativity/wittiness/whatever it is you do best. If you need inspiration, David Miller gave a good primer on the theme here. 
  4. Already-created work.  Works must be original and created within the given time frame. Otherwise there’s no challenge! 

Formatting and Submitting Your Work

  1. Deadline. Everything is due by 8 p.m. on Thursday. You can do it!
  2. Writing. Send as a .doc attachment to caitlin.dewey@gmail.com. If you have headline suggestions, please include them and the word count at top.
  3. Art. Resize to 300 dpi, max 8x10, and send as a jpeg to kuan.luo.11@gmail.com. If you’d like to submit huge files or multiple images, Dropbox is easiest. Put them in a folder and share it with Kuan.
  4. Things to include with ALL submissions. Your name as you’d like it to appear in your byline, your phone number and your email address.

After You Submit

Story drafts will appear in public Google Docs. (We explained this shenanigans last week.) You can follow further developments here or on Twitter.
