From your friend and mine, Ginger Mayerson:

The Journal of Women on Comics.

Guidelines and format for The Journal of Women On Comics (ISSN 1940-7637). These guidelines are subject to modification.

The first issue of the Journal of Women On Comics is a print compilation of women writing on comics online (or in print, if it??™s not a copyright violation) or original, previously unpublished non-fiction up through December 31, 2007. If you??™ve published or have an

unpublished essay, interview, analysis, reviews, histories, original comics about women writing on comics, or whatever before 12/31/2007 and would like to submit it for J WOC??™s consideration, please use one of the templates below. I??™d prefer MS Word, but I know not everyone uses it. Please edit and proof your submission before you submit it, J WOC won??™t do any editing or proofing, so it would be good if your submission was as close to perfect as possible when it gets here. Authors retain their copyright. J WOC has permission to use the material for the volume it??™s published in.

The deadline for big inaugural issue is on or before February 29, 2008 and the material can be from whenever-12/31/2007 .

Thereafter I??™ll publish whenever I have 60-70 or more pages of material.

My criteria is simple: I??™ll publish anything by a woman identified woman about comics, graphic novels, the industry, culture, etc. that I like and won??™t get me sued.

Download the template in MS Word or Rich Text Format or Plain Text. Don??™t worry about how it looks, I??™ll be formatting up a storm in the final document.

I look forward to your submission(s). Please email your edited, proofed and formatted document to editor AT j-woc DOT info Also feel free to contact me if you??™d like more information or just to chat. I??™m on Skype at ginger.mayerson.

I know print is a little retro, but I??™d love to be able to hand out a phone book-size first issue of J WOC. I think it would be a great huge collection of great huge writing by women about comics.

And guys, just so you don??™t feel completely left out, I??™m doing a magazine called The Journal of Bloglandia, which is where your stuff could be published, if you are so inclined.
