Nice. Is there a submissions page.

I hope you won't take this ill, but I have looked at web sites of all the TTA mags and they all seem like super cool mags, but they are the most contrary sites I've ever seen for something in the communication field. Hard to navigate or even really comprehend, short on the usual sorts of info. Frustrating.

I found the contributor's page on this one, but it nothing about pay, deadlines, etc. It has a link to "guidelines" which is a dead end. Other links in these mags circle back on themselves.



Now that we're friends, how does one submit?

[Roy1]

Thanks Lin, I'll pass your comments about the website to the editor.

The BS guidelines are here
Black Static Contributors’ Guidelines let me know if you have problems with them and I'll post them on Chronicles in the Interzone area.

The other side of that cover is here for those interested in the graphics.

No deadline for stories only for news and advertisements. Accepted stories will be published.
As for rates you won't get rich but the editor will make an offer if he accepts your story.

Thanks, Roy. Your second link returns a 404 page. The first one I saw and thought it was incomplete so clicked on "guidlines" and got weirdness. I now realize those were "Technorati keywords" not links and since I have no idea that that means, anything could happen.

[Roy1]

Oops, sorry, go to Black Static One then click on the the second thumbnail headed 'Inside cover/page one:'
"Technorati keywords" something to do with seaching the site I believe but I'm no expert so I'll have to ask.

I'll put any further Black Static non-cover news/information in the Interzone section to avoid hijacking this thread.

I've loaded a jpg of Interzone 212's cover to the Interzone 212 thread on the Chronicles Interzone area.

It's a chance to see SF from a South American perspective. The artist Osvaldo Gonzalez is an Argentine who now lives in Florida.
At 17 Osvaldo started to work as a graphic artist in Las Flores, his hometown, but in the late 80's he moved to Buenos Aires and worked as a graphic designer.

In the 90s, he worked as graphic designer and illustrator in the music industry with companies like MCA, Nems Enterprises, BMG, Poligram, Universal as patrons.

This century his own artwork has come to the fore. See Pixelium - The Art of Osvaldo Gonzalez and he now lives in Miami.

I've linked an image of Black Static 2's cover to the Black Static Thread in the Chronicles Horror Section.

It's different, its David Gentry's work so what do you think?
If you can see it that is.

[Roy1]

I had problems sorting this so now it is slightly below the point where the link takes me when I try.

I posted the Interzone 213 cover in the Interzone area It's by Kenn Brown of Mondolithic Studio, an illustration for 'Metal Dragon Year' by Chris Roberson, a story set in his 'Celestial Empire'.

At the Novacon magazines panel the subject of SF magazine covers was raised and some suggested we need more rockets or spaceships on Interzone covers.

Any comments? Do we need to look more like the SF mags of yore?

[Roy1]

Well no one took up the gauntlet on covers with rockets so here is the cover of Interzone 214 and this one, by Paul Drummond, illustrates one of the stories.

So what do you think? More space art/rockets?

I like that cover a lot actually, probably because it reminds me of 2001!

[Roy1]

I uploaded Black Static 3 cover art on the Horror page Black Static thread.

Darren Winter's illustration for Jamie Barras's 'The Endling' and likely cover for Interzone 215, due March.

What are the requirements for submitting cover art to Interzone - such as DPI, size and resolution?
