Zinester's Guide to NY -- Call for Submissions
Posted for Ayun Halliday:

I’ve been tapped to midwife the ZINESTER’S GUIDE TO NYC, an illustrated guidebook with special appeal for DIY creative types like us. To be published by Microcosm Publishing in September 2010. I need your help! In return for which, you get the glory of seeing your name and your zine's name in a book (and info on how readers can order your zine, if you fall in the first category listed below)


IF YOU LIVE / Have lived / or spent a lot of vividly remembered time IN NYC:

1. Let us pick your brains by completing our survey! Share your favorite NYC places, events, flavors, sights, sounds and inside tips! Email me at ayun [!at] ayunhalliday.com and I will send you a copy by return email or snail mail. Deadline is fast looming, so let's do it ASAP
2. Illustrate some of your favorite NYC landmarks, places (exterior and interior) and events. I can email you the illustration wish list, ifyou like. Reprints are fine - in fact - they're great!
3. Turn us on to your favorite songs, movies, and books about New York City, especially those deserving, but undeservedly obscure ones.

IF YOU DON’T LIVE IN NYC
Ask us some questions. What would YOU like to know if you were coming to NYC?

The more specific the better!

This a low budget publishing venture, so I can't pay contributors anything as bourgeois as cash money. The book will have a contact list so readers will know how to order the zines of all who contributed illustrations and listings via the survey (all listings will be credited to the individual authors). The glory of seeing your name and your zine's name in an actual book! The gratitude of all who use this guidebook, but especially me!

Deadline is fast approaching. I'd like to have all outside contributions in by Thanksgiving 09. Scratch that. I'd like to have them today! Don't let that NYC grass grow under your feet!
