unfortunately not free. we hardly have any advertisers and our money comes mostly from fundraisering parties that we hold every so often. the magazine is printed on high quality paper and ink and it also includes a CD of local music. 8 bucks an issue.

edit:

the website lists the places where the magazine can be bought. chapters robson will soon be added to that place, as i'm working with them now on carrying the magazine.

Nice! Im very VERY interested...i think this might just be the swordsman that unleashes creative mental stream to the gills kind of thing, exactly what i've been looking for.:)

....ooh gotta go ponder.

[gratia]

very cool. something to get me motivated to write again.

[LeeBrat]

thats really awsome. i suppose fashion isnt really catagorized unter art..but hey, ill let some of my friends know about this :)

[sidekick]

glad to see so much interest :) i hope you all submit something. very interested to see how this new issue turns out. they get better each time it seems.

edit: would LOVE to see some graffiti submitted! i know there are lots of people here who are into that. pictures or originals.

[sidekick]

bummmmp.

i'm already sifting through submissions for this issue.

13 days from the deadline :)

[-evil-duerr-]

woah sweet!
I'll send in some of my stuff

do you recommend multiple submissions or just one piece at a time?

cuz. i have lots!

[sidekick]

multiple is okay, but don't send in like a zillion things. especially pictures, just send a few that you like. not like 20.

[BongMan]

willing to look at pictures of trains or other artistic graff??

[sidekick]

^totally! i would love to see some people submit gaffiti pictures or art.

[sidekick]

buuuump.

there's still six days to submit before the deadline. :)

submissions@onecoolword.com

[crookedking]

how long should the short stories be? i tried looking at the rules, but it was unclear.

or i'm an idiot and skipped over that part.

[sidekick]

heh, you're not an idiot. our submission guidelines for fiction are pretty vague. that's one thing that i want to fix.

we won't publish an entire short story if it's super long. 2500 words would probably be the longest thing we'd publish in the magazine. if it's anything longer than that, we'd put an excerpt in and then have the rest available to read on the website.

[crookedking]

cool.

i'll start writing it tomorrow. i'm pretty sure that if it was accepted it would be on the website.

[sidekick]

well, we would put as much of it as we could in the actual magazine.

[crookedking]

it's a real doozy of a story.

[sidekick]

three more days until the deadline folks.

we have recieved lots of really good stuff so far, but our minds aren't made up, so send some more in :)

edit: remember we also take music submissions, as there is a CD that comes with each magazine. we're open to all genres, electronic or otherwise.
