Been to tizer soze recently? Well, I did tell you to go there. There's a new magazine starting up which is looking for submissions, (details below and blog here):

New monthly publication ‘The Nope’ looking for submissions.

Wanted:

Comics

Artwork

Photos

Poems

Short Stories

Journalistic pieces

‘How to’ guides

About Nope:

The Nope is a low budget, low profit North East UK based publication, but we welcome contributions from anywhere. The tone is offbeat and humorous, but feel free to submit serious and academic material. The magazine is all about sharing your work with like minded folk, celebrating creativity and having fun. All contributors retain the copyright to their own work, and although at present we are unable to pay for submissions, all involved will receive a free copy of the finished magazine (We hope to be able to pay for submissions eventually). If there are sufficient submissions to warrant creating the first issue, a website will follow. Oh, and the magazine will be very cheap and available from anywhere that will agree to sell it.

Terms:

For now, The Nope is a low budget affair, staples and photocopies, so please only submit black and white entries, or entries that will translate well into black and white printing..

The magazine will be A5 size, short and sweet. Poetry, Prose and articles should run to no more than 1000 words (although exceptions may be made).

Comics should ideally be under four pages long.

The Nope won’t run unsolicited multi-part stories, so please only submit complete entries.

We can only accept work that has been unpublished, unless it was self published.

Although we will judge each entry by its merits, here are a few things we will be unlikely to consider (but do try us anyway!):

Highly personal and downbeat poetry

Explicitly sexual material or Erotica

anime/manga themed artwork

And we certainly won’t print anything indefensibly racist, sexist or homophobic

How to submit:

Please submit all contributions by email (please send scans of artwork), Do not send attachments of text, please copy it into the body of the email. Please also include a brief biography of yourself (age, sex, location etc). Do feel free to email only a URL if your work is already hosted online. Submissions and queries to:
