Sister’s
will be launching the inaugural issue of a new online literary magazine
(LSB Review) in early January, and we are looking for contributions
from authors working in the fields of lesbian, gay, transgender, and
“queer” literature and arts. It is our goal to feature a new author each month, so we’re hoping you will consider adding your name to our list. Contributions will be short, simple, and quite flexible depending on what material you would like to contribute. For instance, a top-ten list of books, a short book review or recommendation, or an opinion piece on why a particular book might be important in queer history. In exchange for these contributions, our magazine will feature your author bio, with information on your publishers, and links directly to your books as they appear on the Little Sister’s web site: www.littlesistersbookstore.com Whenever possible, your publicity photograph will appear on the front page of the magazine with the link to your article. The magazine will be in HTML format, with monthly updated links to our top-ten bestsellers, lgbt resources, information about Little Sister’s ongoing fight against censorship, and so on. It will also include book reviews, new video releases, and short essays by staff and customers of the bookstore. The magazine will be sent out via email to Little Sister’s extensive customer list and available as a download from our web site. They will also be archived so that readers can enjoy previous issues at the click of a button. We believe that this project will be of enormous cross-promotional value to authors, publishers, and Little Sister’s, and that it will present an opportunity for our readers to discover both new and established authors, and entire new areas of literature. Also, it will get our customers (both in Vancouver and abroad) involved in a hands-on way with our work. The working title for this magazine is “LSB Review,” which with your help, we believe will become a widely recognized and read resource for all people working in lgbt literature and arts. For more information, or if you would like to contribute to this project, please get in touch with me by email, and I will attempt to build a schedule for the upcoming year, and offer some guidance to you in terms of deadlines, etc… Thanks! |
