BLOOD TOUCH--Welcome to the Gratista Vampire Clan

Poetry--any length.

Short Stories--up to 10,000 words

"Short-Shorts"--5,000 words and under

Artwork--use a .jpeg. gif. or bmp. format, but prefer the first two.

Also looking for book and movie reviews---want to be a reviewer? hey--give it a shot! Although I do my own book/movie/CD reviews, if you write a review, just email it with "REVIEW FOR DG ZINE" in the subject line, along with your name, bio, and other publishing credits, if any.

ARTISTS!!!!----Just about everyone knows I ABSOLUTELY LOVE art. I am always seeking out talented artists for the 'zine. If you'd like to be considered, send me a link to where you showcase your art online, or just send them as attachments, but put "ART SUBMISSION" as your subject line and introduce yourself a bit!

AUTHORS! Have a new book that out, or soon to be out? Send a little pic of the cover, and a brief blurb and short bio on yourself. If the book is in the related themes stated above, I'll list it in the Batty Bookshelf section!

I WILL ALSO DO INTERVIEWS OF BANDS, AUTHORS, ARTISTS OR ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS A DARK, GOTHY FLAIR TO THEM THAT'S GOT SOMETHING REALLY COOL THEY'RE DOING. ALTHOUGH I HUNT DOWN FOLKS MYSELF THAT WOULD BE OF INTEREST TO THE READERS, IF  YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE INTERVIEWED, JUST PUT "DG INTERVIEW REQUEST" IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL, AND TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF...(Unless I find you first...)

AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS OOKIE-SPOOKY, CREEPY AND KOOKY... PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR WORK IS PERFECT---NO TYPOS AND THE LIKE. I WILL NOT BE EDITING ANYMORE. I'LL FIX THE SMALL STUFF, LIKE MISSING QUOTES, COMMAS, PERIODS, OR THE OCCASIONAL MISSPELLED WORD, BUT IF IT HAS WAY TOO MANY TYPOS, I'LL SIMPLY SEND IT BACK AND ASK YOU TO RESUBMIT THE PIECE AFTER IT'S CLEANED-UP. PLEASE...SHOWCASE YOUR WORK PROFESSIONALLY!

 I will accept submissions all year round. This is a biannual 'zine, in Fall (October) and Spring (April).

NOW....ONE SIMPLE RULE--ALL GRATISTA GROUP MEMBERS WILL RECEIVE AN E-COPY OF THE ZINE. THOSE THAT  CONTRIBUTE BUT ARE NOT GROUP MEMBERS, I WILL PROVIDE THE LINK WHERE YOU CAN PURCHASE A PRINT COPY IF YOU CHOOSE TO. OTHER THAN THAT, CONTRIBUTORS WILL RECEIVE A PDF VERSION OF THE ZINE AS WELL. This is a non-paying market, but you will get exposure!

You can submit your text work in the body of the email OR as an attachment, BUT IT MUST BE RTF. or DOC. FORMAT. (No DOC X. formats, please.) AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD--PLEASE HAVE ALL YOUR CONTACT INFO ON THE ATTACHMENT ITSELF!!! Nothing is more frustrating than opening up a document and noting that this important info is MISSING from your work! Please help make my job easier. Thank you! In the subject line of your email, put "DG SUBMISSION" so it won't get mistaken for junk/spam.

And last but not least, submit everything here: GratistaVampires@yahoo.com

So, dust the cobwebs off your brains, and get to crackin' on those submissions!

Now, for the pesky legal stuff:

Upon submitting, you understand:

You are giving DGR Magazine one-time, non-exclusive rights to publish your work. All other rights to your work belong to you.

You guarantee that said work is your own work, and you have the right to grant DGR Magazine the use of your work, and it does not violate the rights of any third party, and is not in the Public Domain.

If these terms are agreeable with you, you are welcome to submit! You will also receive a copy of these terms via email to 'e-sign' and return.

Want some cool logos to add to your blog or website? For anyone who was interviewed and/or had their work published in DGR, just nab one (or both) of these logos, and link it back to this page! Thanks!
