Moonset is not in a position to "pay" for works submitted, or offer gratis "contributor copies" for work accepted, we rely on subscriber revenues to operate.
---------------------------------------------
-------------Guidelines for Photographics:
Moonset will now have a regular page for Photographic Art . The aim of the Photographic Art page will be to foster the development of a B/W Photographic Haiga tradition, encouraging photographic artists to design black and white images that resonate with their haiku/senryu/tanka.
In B/W the language of colour gives way to a language of shape, line and tone and so, on the Photographic Arts page, we hope to explore the resonances between word images and those of shapes, lines and tones in black and white.
In this spirit, please send black and white images, not colour, that are not under consideration elsewhere, nor entered in any competition at the time sent, or within the time it takes to receive a response. Appearance in any online publication (with the exception to workshops or lists) does constitute prior publication.
Send images to to Jim Swift oston@shawbiz.ca To ensure quality images the longest dimension should be at least 1600 pixels wide. Any format will be accepted, jpg, tiff, psd etc.
================================
"Submit Sumi-e, Haiga" to: anya@bendnet.com or to peterb@bendnet.com
The type of sumi-e and haiga artwork we deal in, is actually quite difficult to reproduce accurately, and, nowadays with more artists beginning to use color, we need to maximize what you -submit- by setting some -known- guidelines . . . On our end, we are running Adobe Creative Suite software (illustrator/photoshop/in-design/etc.) On our windows/ibm-pc. We accept most electronic format via email.
Our maximum -published- artwork size is 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"—we go to print at 300 dots/per inch, and print black on white.
Submissions: (if your work is in color . . . be sure it is in CMYK (not RGB,) and if you convert it, please do so in greyscale-not black ) . . . always be sure your "chop" is also grey scaled!
Please, do not submit artwork that relies on -color- to convey meaning . . . and if you intentionally require white space as a part of your frame, please specify this to us upon submission. Otherwise, please do not use any frames.
Most line-art should be 900-1200 dpi @ 100 % scale, and the lines need to be at least 0.25 points thick-anything smaller will not print reliably (0.50 preferred). Save as a .tif (preferred), or .eps, .psd and remember "if" you send a 300 dpi image, it can only be used in the size you send it as, or smaller (to maintain 300 dpi). .jpg files lose quality, and are not really a valid choice for what we are doing here, .psd is our preference.
Other thoughts: if your artwork has text/type involved, and is printed over screens, those screen values should not be beyond 7-20 % it is best to keep type outside of tinted areas, and please separate text from artwork, do not imbed! Package, path, or whatever text with art program you have . . . Confused now? Email us with questions.
---------------------------------------------------------------
You will promptly receive a notification of receipt for your submission, and an accepted/rejected notification shortly after the submission deadline dates: 1 February for our Spring/ Issue and 1 August for our Autumn Issue.
Send up to 10 at a time (preferably via email) to the appropriate editor . . . that are not under consideration elsewhere, nor entered in any contest at the time sent, or within the time it takes to receive a response; appearance in any online publication (with the exception to workshops or lists) does constitute prior publication.
moonset LITERARY NEWSPAPER, requires contributors to help us with scheduling restraints by allowing us to receive your submissions in- hand no later than 1 February, and 1 August for Inclusion and Publication In The Spring/Summer, and Autumn/Winter Issues. We have allowed extra Long lead time to assist ourselves in communicating with our foreign, remote, and sometimes snailmail only submitters, and, to conduct translation/foreign script/editorial corrections and permissions as required.
We encourage translated works to be submitted … in English and any other language as text in the body of an email and in attached Word (or an RTF) Document if possible.
If you have native written text types, send them as well, but, be sure they are properly presented with all phonetic and diacritical markings. We will need specifics on the makeup of the font for print-processing here.
If you need help with Balkan area translations, please contact Sasa Vazic' - moonset's Balkan Adviser at: v.sasa@ptt.yu or by post to Sasa Vasic', Pilotska 13, 11273
While we prefer original works that have not been bilingually published before, we will consider previously published items, as long as you provide first-credits, and, of course we will need the permission of each poet/writer-and-the translator’s permission-to-print as well.
Please include any notes on the translation process, and any “meanings” or innuendo inherent to the work in order to insure reader understanding.
Please do not send text files as .PDF or in any way lock or outline text (we need to reformat your submission) — lengthy works should typically come in as word documents. Please email submissions (preferably) with the subject heading moonset submissions.
Although we prefer electronic mail, if you must send submissions and receive notifications by post, please be so kind as to include an SASE, and return postage, all postal correspondences will be addressed as promptly as possible, and (we no longer accept IRC's.)
FULL As submitted rights revert back to each author/artist upon publication, although credits for having been first-published in "moonset LITERARY NEWSPAPER", are required. All haiga and artwork rights also revert back to each artist for their own use and publication elsewhere and/or with their own poetry. Works published are only temporarily licensed to the natal * light press for the artist’s protection. Should you have any question about retained rights, please feel free to ask us for clarification.
