Seeking submissions for cover art for The North Coast
SquidFrom the Manzanita
The Manzanita Writer’s Series coordinators are pleased to
continue the collaboration with the North Coast Citizen to publish a second
annual literary magazine.
The North Coast Squid showcases work of writers and artists
who live on the north coast or have a strong connection to the area.
The second magazine will publish in February 2013 in time
for the February Manzanita Writer’s Series event.
“We’re looking for color art or color photographs for the
cover that represent our area in some way AND that will draw readers to pick up
the publication,” says Kathie Hightower, cofounder of the Manzanita Writers’
Series. Art should be sent as a jpg of a least 300 dpi resolution. The North
Coast Squid editorial team will make the final selection.
“We’re also looking for art and photography submissions to
accompany literary content within the publication,” says cofounder Vera
Wildauer. Art categories include black and white photos and line drawings.
Submissions for consideration are due November 30, 2012.
Artists may submit three images each of black and white photos or line drawings
(scanned and in jpg form.) For the full submission guidelines go to
hoffmanblog.org and click on Squid in the Blog Categories list.
Artists can find copies of the first Squid available for
sale in many coastal retail outlets. Fifty percent of the cover price goes to
the Hoffman Center to help with operational costs that provide programs like
the Manzanita Writers’ Series.
The Manzanita Writer’s Series is a program of the Hoffman
Center, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing arts, education and culture to the
community. Information on all their programs is at http://hoffmanblog.org.
