Wanna get published?
Read and scroll, and you shall know.
I. What is this Speakeasy thing all about?
|
|
1. It’s
a club that will create The Speakeasy zine, which will have
student’s writings, drawings, artwork, etc. (Below are
details on types of submissions accepted and where to submit
work.)
2. If all
goes well the zine will be bi-monthly.
3. You don’t
have to be in the club to submit work.
4. You don’t
have to submit work to be in the club. |
II. Wait. What the hell is a zine?
| |
zine also
'zine (z n)
n.
An inexpensively
produced, self-published, underground publication:
[Short
for magazine.]
(Definition
according to dictionary.com.)
|
III. What kind of work can you submit to this zine?
| |
1. There
aren’t many limitations on what kind of work to submit.
But, one thing, this is a catholic school, so anything submitted
must be appropriate, or it won’t get published. (I.E.
no drawing of burning crosses, or the KKK, sorry). (The process
of determining what gets published is explained below.)
2. It has
to be able to be printed on paper. (i.e. no road kill, but
a nice picture of road kill is ok), no abstract 3D objects,
or anything like that. So, it has to be able to be printed
on paper,ok?
3. We are
looking to publish...
Writings,
which entail:
Short stories,
short plays, poems (not too cheesy though), fim scripts/ideas,
jokes (good ones), movie/book/music reviews, local band advertisements
and reviews , political opinions, rants and raves about whatever,
thoughts, journals, discoveries, bla bla, basically anything
written.
Drawings/art
like stuff, which entail:
Sketches, doodles,
paintings, cartoons, comics, graphic designs, photography, photos
of homemade baskets (they better be rad), photos of stained
glass windows (again, only rad), (be sure to submit only copies
of work, no originals), bla bla, and again, basically anything
that can be printed on paper. |
IV. Where else can I submit the work I want published?
| |
1. There
are 3 different options for submitting your work:
I. In the
English Village Mail Room, on the 3rd floor of UHall, in a
tray titles "The SPEAKEASY."
II. In
1st floor of Malone, room 101, in a box titled "THE SPEAKEASY:
SUBMISSIONS."
III. And
lastly, you can email your work to onesickclub@yahoo.com.
2. We prefer
you submit your work via email because its easier for us to
print out, but the drop-off locations will work just the same.
|
V. Who determines
what gets published?
| |
1. Five
members of the club (selected anonymously before each issues
production) will decide what will be published for the upcoming
issue, but there is a chance that you will get published in
the later issues, if there are too many submissions.
2. All submissions
will be viewed by the selected five members, who will then
all openly agree on what will be published for the upcoming
issue.
|
VI. What about the clubs staff? Who are they and how will
they be selected?
| |
1. The
club’s staff will be a group of about 8-15 people that
will meet weekly, at a date TBA.
2. Staff
positions within the club are not permanently defined. Everyone
will work together but some will have arranged tasks with
deadlines.
3. Anyone
interested can sign up for the designated positions (look
below) (but will not be held to just that) and will be selected
by the prez within a few days of these meetings.
4. The tentative
titles/jobs for the Staff will be:
finance/
budget/ money
website
design/ tech person
email collecting/
public relations
zine layout/
design
typers/
printers/editors
|
VII. Are
there any other things we gotta know?
| |
This whole
zine thing can only be possible with the contributed effort
of everyone…and I am talking about money. If you submit
work, you don’t have to pay anything, but donations
will not be turned down. Now, if you are a part of the staff,
then money donations are not required but will definatley
help things move faster.
Eventually, if this zine and club prove successful, the school
will give us money and maybe even pay for everything, that’s
if things work out well.
