I hope that this is in the right section and that this post does not break any rules. If this is inappropriate then feel free to delete this message.
I have mentioned in here before about how I work on a magazine and up until now I have stayed away from "pimping" the publication. The reason I am breaking that silence is because we want to start a new feature in the magazine where we highlight photographers and provide our readers with a little more information about them. Since the purpose of our magazine is to display the works of undiscovered writers, artists and photographers we realized that we were not doing what we can for photographers. Time to change that.
Here is some information on who we are and what we are looking for:
The City Morgue is a non-profit, submission-based magazine. Like I stated above, our purpose is to give space to those artists and writers that are looking to get their work seen by others. We do have a dark art/literary theme (goth, horror, macabre) to the magazine, but we are also interested in submissions that fall into the "out of the ordinary" field.
We want to dedicate a few pages to photographers much like you see in other magazines. We would print some of your photos, information about you (short narrative interview) and how readers can contact you and find more of your work.
If you are interested in partaking in this:
Please email damion@thecitymorgue.com with your name, brief bio and 3-5 low-res images that you would like to see put together. If/when you are chosen then we would then contact you to get the higher res images (300dpi) for publication. Due to the nature of the magazine we are only able to print photos in B&W, so please keep that, and the style of the magazine, in mind when submitting materials. We are always on the lookout for cover images, which are always in color. Cover images are also never covered aside from the magazine header (we don't print a busy cover like you see elsewhere because we don't want to disrupt the cover image). We only print every other month so it might take a little while to get to your submissions but we will respond as soon as possible.
We are a small magazine and make no money doing this (we actually pay the bulk of the cost out of our pocket of the magazine with donations and subscriptions covering the rest, (which is why I don't have any L glass yet :)) Because of this we are not able to offer anything in return except a few copies of the magazine and giving you something to put in your portfolio/resume.
If you have any questions, please ask here and I will answer.
Thanks,
Bluelens
