Modern American Geek seeks freelancers
If you are into, and would like to write or draw about games, anime, politics from a new perspective, sociology, art, music, travel, or the human condition, serious or humorous, please no queries, just submit the material you would like me to consider for publication. All quality work is considered.
(NOTE: If you send URLs to online portfolios, resumes, or "samples", your submission will be deleted and likely not to be read. Please send the specific piece you wish to have considered!!!)
For writing, The Modern American Geek accepts articles, essays, short stories, poetry, reviews, journal entries (no internet shorthand please, unless being used for a specific reason), observations, and the like. For articles and essays, please use some organization and professionalism, but for fiction and poetry feel free to experiment, in fact it is encouraged. Conventional things have the mainstream market.
Reviews should consider un or under-appreciated CDs, movies, or books. These may be new or old, release date is not a factor. Journal entries can be self involved banter as long as it is well written and interesting self involved banter. Entire short journals and blogs are considered, if they are insightful.
As for art, black and white as well as color photography and digital scans of work is considered (although, keep in mind only two or three color submissions are considered each issue). We like the avant garde, the strange, "ugly" people and everyday objects in a new light. Landscapes are considered if they are impressive, urban landscapes are preferred.
Email submissions: email the appropriate editor with work; text should be within the body of the email or as a .doc attachment, images should be within the body of the email or as a .jpg, .gif, or .bmp attachment. Please include the name to which you'd prefer to be credited by, as well as an email address and/or website. Snail mail submissions are only acceptable with photography from previous contributors. If you do not have a scanner available to you, a local copy shop should carry one, or hound your classmates/co-workers to let you borrow one.
jinnigan@gmail.com -- articles and essays.
square.cactus@gmail.com -- poetry, prose, photography, and art.
geekspeak@cluemail.com -- general questions, comments, concerns, etc.
(NOTE: Sex, sports, and fashion articles and essays are usually not considered. These elements in fiction are usually fine, though.)
Deadlines: The deadlines for the year are September first, December first, March first, and June first. All work received before these deadlines will be considered for that season's issue, all work after will be considered for the next season's issue.
Remember, be original and creative. Even go so far as to cawfy tawk. The editors are patient, laid back (but hard working) editors. Resumes will not improve your chance, because all work should speak for itself. The English language paired with a pen and a camera, are the three most dangerously fun and flexible tools you will ever come across.
Sincerely,
--Kait Jarboe and Sean Jin

Answerbag is a collection of user-generated frequently-asked questions that is built and moderated by its community. We are dedicated to making a product that will help its community, and we want people with the same passion. We are a small startup looking for a motivated, self-directed information scientist to lead organization of its constantly-growing database of questions and answers.
