- Quanta Needs Submissions!
-
- Quanta is the internationally distributed magazine of Science Fiction
- and Fantasy. This month, it will celebrate it's third anniversary with
- its 16th issue, which will be distributed world-wide over the Internet
- and BITNET. But Quanta needs more quality fiction if it's to produce
- another issue. If you're a writer, and you're looking for a way to
- get your work out there to a large audience, please consider
- submitting your material to Quanta. If I don't accept your story,
- I'll tell you _why_ and try to offer constructive criticism. If I
- feel your story needs work, but may be suitable for publication in a
- future issue, I'll try to work _with_ you towards that end. As editor
- of Quanta, I'm in the business of providing a vehicle for new voices,
- new points of view, new opinions. I'm especially interested in
- fiction that makes use of innovative narrative style or structure, but
- I'm also interested in so-called "traditional" SF and Fantasy genres.
- I'm interested in _well-written_ fiction that's been _proofread_ and
- is ready for publication.
-
- You may send submissions to me at the address: quanta@andrew.cmu.edu
-
- If you're not a writer yourself, but you know someone who is and may
- be interested, please forward this to them! Thanks!
-
- Subscriptions:
-
- To be added to the distribution list, send mail to one of the
- following addresses, depending on which version of the magazine you'd
- like to receive.
-
- quanta-request-postscript@andrew.cmu.edu
- quanta-request-ascii@andrew.cmu.edu
-
- or
-
- quanta-request-postscript@andrew.BITNET
- quanta-request-ascii@andrew.BITNET
-
- Send mail only- no interactive messages or files please. Note that if
- you subscribe with a letter sent over BITNET, you will have the
- magazine sent to you as a file over BITNET, whereas if you subscribe
- with a letter sent over the Internet, the magazine will be sent to you
- as a series of mail messages.
-
- Also, if you request it, I will put you on the "FTP" list which means
- you will get a notice when a new issue comes out, directing you how to
- pick it up from one of the servers. This is to save wear and tear on
- mailer machines and to generally spread the load of distribution over
- a wider area.
-
