Submission Information
Submissions are now open for the autumn issue of Riding the Meridian. The issue will have a theme -- we plan to explore the intersection between art and literature on the Web, and the precedents for such. We're not looking for literary work 'about' art, but for literary work that embodies some of the qualities one associates with the visual arts. Our roundtable discussion will explore the opportunities and challenges our new medium faces, while the 'male version' of our Progressive Dinner Party, "Jumping at the Diner" will present a survey of web specific hypertexts and hypermedia by men working in English. Original, previously unpublished work is being sought in several categories: 1. Hypertext and Hypermedia 2. Digital art works 3. Kinetic and Concrete poetry 4. Classic text work To submit hypertext, hypermedia, digital art, kinetic or concrete poetry, please send a url where the work can be viewed on the web with a brief description of the work and a short bio. To submit text poetry, please send up to four previously unpublished works in the body of an email message with a short bio. In addition, any articles on technical concerns writers and artists face when creating work for the Web would be appropriate for this issue. Please send a brief query letter if you wish to write on any technical subjects. Address all submissions/queries to editor, Jennifer Ley and include the words "Meridian Submission" in the subject line. Riding the Meridian asks for first electronic rights for all work we publish, which will eventually be archived online with the non-profit service we use, etext.org All other rights revert to the author upon publication, but we do ask all our contributors to refrain from publishing work elsewhere on the Web for a period of two months from an issue's release date. The autumn issue will be dedicated to our dear friend and past associate, Alaric Sumner, who died very unexpectedly this past March. Alaric had planned to join the staff permanently, and his loss is one those of us who had the honor to know and work with him will feel for some time.
