>>>END TRANSMISSION

Le Jolie Rouge Issue 4: Our box is wide open. Deadline January 31, 2011

We sit in our office in the glow of a still erected Christmas tree. It may seem that the weight of the winter has quieted the march but those boots won't be left on the porch any longer. Like cowboys in their underwear, shaking the malaise off our one piece thermals, baked beans ran dry, Hi Ho Silver Motherfuckers.


The conclusion of volume one of le jolie rouge is upon us. Issue 4, First Quarter 2011 submission deadline will be January 31, 2011. The submission guidelines are as follows:


The format for submissions is open to you, this meaning all genres of the printed arts are welcome. Submissions should be kept to 4-5 pages at max due to size constraints for the zine. At our deadline, we will decide which submissions are published at our discretion however we are not biased to any form. Submissions can be sent electronically to: lejolierouge.zine@gmail.com. If your submission is not electronic, email us and we will make an arrangement. We can also be contacted at (313) 718-1064 where you can leave a voice message, audio submission or text message sized short story.


Notice: In the past, we have received submissions of pencil on paper, marker scanned and sent through email and images which translate to black and white poorly. We attempted to reproduce these submissions as dutifully as possible however, copy machines do not always comply. Therefore we are advising you to take into consideration the translation from creation to copy. If a submission is to go to print, and the translation is of sub-par quality, we have no choice but to pull it from the final product. All questions and concerns can be addressed to lejolierouge.zine@gmail.com.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, Kirk.
