>>>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.

Issue three. Fourth Quarter 2010

Issue Three: Announcement

Friends and Comrades,

We would like to reiterate our apologies on the delay in the announcement on this issue.

Fucking pumpkins everywhere. All of sudden the shit got cold. The leaves hightailed it outta here. We’re over here decked out in flannels sipping cider, real nice. In the midst of gentlemen’s conversations in the steam rooms of Northern Michigan, we realized the third season was upon us and with the oranges and reds the time for another issue had arrived.

The Third Quarter issue returns to the open forum of the First. There will be no general theme. That which is of sincere intent and execution-- But really, your influences? Stop it. We want your best shit. No games. No shit that we read on live journal like 10 years ago, Dig? Get real, be inspired. Throw a log on the fire, the time is now to get to work.

We would like to give you a firm “Thank You” for your attention.

le jolie rouge, Editors.

Submission deadline is October 23^rd at 3:00pm.

Print date is scheduled for October 29^th.

As always, the Submission guidelines can be found here and questions directed to lejolierouge.zine@gmail.com

Ride a Bike. Read a Book

Inside Issue Two we have added a small LJR tag to be used as a spoke card or bookmark.

All tags feature the cover of Issue One on one side and an illustration from inside that same issue on the other; hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen.


All tags come pre-laminated inside a plastic sleeve which is perfect for preventing wear and protecting against weather.

For more information on how to obtain a copy of LJR Issue Two please read earlier posts.

As always, send any submissions, questions, addresses, ideas to Lejolierouge.zine@gmail.com

Onward,
Ride or Die.
