[IPSM] Attention Writers/Photographers/Illustrators/Activists!

[Jenn Watt]

Blackfly Magazine ( www.blackflymagazine.com) is looking for  
contributors for its fall 2007 issue and we've extended the deadline  
for pitches to Sunday, June 24!

As usual, we're looking for individuals who are willing to donate  
their time, talents, and energy to keep making this little magazine  
great.

If you don't know already, Blackfly's mission is to cover Ontario  
current events and political issues from a progressive perspective.  
That means we cover the news that mainstream media doesn't -- issues  
affecting marginalized communities (including, but not limited to,  
First Nations, women, people of colour, people with disabilities), as  
well as issues related to poverty, the environment, labour ( minimum  
wage/injuries at work/harassment in the workplace)social services  
(especially in small towns/rural/Northern Ontario), the impacts of  
government policy . . . the list goes on. We're also always looking  
for coverage of arts and indy projects.

So . . . if you have an idea, send us a pitch!

For our fall issue, pitches are due Sunday, June 24.
Final articles are due Friday, July 13.

We accept pitches for articles ranging in length from 500 to 3000 words.
We do NOT reprint previously published articles. We are NOT looking  
for opinion pieces.
We ARE looking for news, feature articles, and interviews.

In your pitch please include information about:
- how you will structure your article
- how long your article will be
- how you will research your article (who you will contact, who you  
will interview)
- yourself and your writing experience.

We are also interested in other media for our website such as audio  
files, extra images, and extended interviews. When you pitch, please  
indicate if any of these things will be included.

If you're interested in contributing but writing isn't your thing,  
we're also looking for volunteers to review books, shoot photographs,  
and draw/paint illustrations. If this is you, we'd love to hear from  
you.

Unfortunately, Blackfly does not (yet!) have the means to financially  
compensate its contributors (or its staff) but, as a (small) token of  
appreciation for your work, we will send you a year's free subscription.

For more information about Blackfly, please visit our website: http://

(Blackfly is also always accepting pitches for articles and audio/ 
video files to appear on the "Web Exclusive" section of our website,  
especially regarding issues that are too time-sensitve to appear in a  
quarterly publication.)
