FROM THE GUEST EDITOR'S DESK
----------------------------
Not surprisingly, last issue's article on electronic piracy by
Charles Petit has resulted in a flurry of reprint requests.
Swamped, Charlie suggested Inklings clarify its reprint policies:
1) Inklings uses first rights only. If you see an article you'd
like to reprint, contact the author directly for permission. The
one exception is articles published in Inklings AND on Inkspot
(like Petit's).
2) Inkspot holds one-year exclusive electronic rights to
articles posted on its website. Such articles can be reprinted
in print, but not in electronic media without Inkspot's
permission. To reprint, please contact both the author AND
Inkspot. (Some articles have been posted for longer than one
year; we can tell you if the rights have expired.)
3) If you would like to forward an Inklings article to others
by e-mail, we prefer you to forward the entire issue. Articles
can easily become separated from author/publisher information,
resulting in the mistaken impression that such articles are not
covered by copyright and can be reproduced or even republished.
4) To use an Inkspot article for educational purposes, please
contact the editor.
In all cases, we would appreciate a tagline indicating that the
reprinted material formerly appeared in Inklings and/or Inkspot.

MOXIE MAGAZINE
Emily Hancock, Editor
1230 Glen Ave., Berkeley, CA 94708; (510) 540-5510; fax
(510) 670-6457
MOXIE MAGAZINE: For the Woman Who Dares. FREQ: Quarterly. CIRC:
Approx. 10K. SIZE: 56pp b/w with color cover. For gutsy women who
want more from a magazine than fashion, sex, and beauty. With an
entirely unique voice, Moxie encourages young women to define
themselves from the inside out -- apart from media stereotypes.
Upbeat and positive, it reflects women's strengths instead of
making them feel depressed about how they measure up. Although the
magazine is produced, written by, and targeted at 20-something
women, Moxie's audience is based more on a mindset than an age.
Readers range in age from teens to eighties. (Check out our
Millennium issue on Identity, and have a look at the website for
the table of contents, as well as dozens of related, original
articles.) NEEDS: 1,000 - 3,000 wds. Fiction, poetry and non-
fiction geared to real women who are putting together lives that
work in the real world, from careers to friends, from sexuality to
multiculturalism, to travel, technology, and sports. Anything is
game, especially the topics that make most national magazines
squirm. DEADLINES: We publish two zines: print and web. Deadlines
for print: 1/15, 4/15, 7/15, 10/15. Deadlines for Web: one month
later (much looser). THEMED ISSUES: Our next issue will look at
STYLE (NOT FASHION) as self-expression, play, personal statement,
or social meaning. Deadline March 31, 500-1,000 words. The following
issue will cover FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND LOVERS. Deadline May 1.
Stories should mirror the spirit of the magazine, describing or
inspiring our readers. First-person accounts, fiction, nonfiction,
essays, photographs, illustrations all welcome. Just stick with our
mission to describe real women doing real things in the real world.
PAY: On publication. 3 copies of the issue and one Moxie T-shirt OR
1 copy of the issue and $25. Author holds rights. SUBMISSION: E-MAIL
PREFERRED. If sending an attachment, also paste text into e-mail.
Snail mail: Include name and address on every page. Snail mail
submissions get very poor attention indeed. RT: E-mail submissions
acknowledged immediately with a time line as to when a decision will
be made and which issue piece is considered for. SAMPLE: $5. (JL)

ASK THE POET
-----------------------------------------------------------------
by David Breeden <dbreeden@schreiner.edu>
Great Poetry Depends Upon Great. . . Sales
------------------------------------------
Q: Why do most poetry publications pay so little?
A: A brochure for a new literary quarterly just hit my desk. In
bold letters at the top are the words, "our success depends on
loyal readers as well as quality writers." As someone who has
been writing professionally for more then 20 years, who has
edited literary magazines and run a literary press, I read these
words not as a bold statement of purpose but a plea. A plea,
furthermore, that will most likely go unheeded.
Regular readers of my "Ask the Poet" column will perhaps feel a
bit aggravated that I bring up the topic again, but I do so
because of a recent chat I had with a serious literary publisher.
The sort of publisher who enjoys international acclaim, publishing
major poets who win major awards. The sort of publisher who can
make poets famous. One of the best publishing houses in the
business. She can barely keep the press afloat.
Why? The problem is not the hordes who would rather spend money
on pizza and slasher movies. The problem comes from poets and
would-be poets -- poets who send this publisher manuscripts but
can't be bothered to buy the books the press produces. If you
are a beginning poet, take note: buy books.
If you are an older, published poet, shame on you. Even poets
of the experience and quality to have books published often
forget a very simple fact: poetry is an industry. And industries
must be fed with money; they must have consumers.
Allow me to explain. If one does not wish to participate in the
poetry industry, that is well and good. The World Wide Web offers
extraordinary opportunities for publishing and reading free of
charge. The Internet may be the best thing that has ever happened
to poetry. For poets who wish to remain unbesmirched by filthy
lucre, the possibilities loom large.
However, for those who wish to make money, or have money spent
upon them, it is time to reorganize the poetry profession. I
would never argue that poets should behave as script writers,
journalists, or even novelists. One of the beauties of poetry
lies in its very nature as a low-return field. Still, with ink
and paper productions, the bottom line is there for somebody to
deal with.
How can poets help? First, consider your publisher and the other
poets he or she publishes as part of a family. A family you will
contribute to. After that book comes out, don't sit back and
wonder why you aren't getting a call from the Nobel Committee.
Get out there and sell that book. Get out there and talk about
your publisher and the other poets in the catalogue. Use those
readings and interviews to get the publisher's name out. You
thereby help yourself, your publisher, your fellow poets, and
an audience who may never have seen those books otherwise.
Poets of the world: sell books, buy books. Let's keep ink and
paper publishers going, with or without government funding.

WRITING ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW
-----------------------------------------------------------------
by Linda Gabris <sulaco2d@msn.com>
One of the most common questions asked in the creative writing
workshops I've taught over the past 15 years is "What will I write
about?" Many folks who want to write have problems finding a
place to start. Whether they seek to write poetry, articles or
fiction, finding a topic seems to be the big barrier between pen
and paper.
"What can I possibly write about?" novice writers are quick to ask,
nursing the fear of having nothing worth sharing.
"Well, what do you know?" I respond.
"What do you mean?"
"Tell us about your hobbies. Do you collect coins, old Bibles,
porcelain dolls? Do you hike, camp, mountain-climb, scuba dive?"
Answers begin to flood the room.
"But I don't do any of those things!" one is sure to answer.
"Perhaps you have a garden. Or do you quilt or make pottery? Are
you an artist? Do you lead a Bible study? Teach Sunday school?
Are you devoted to health, fitness, diet? Do you golf, ski, swim?
Foster children? Like to travel?" Eventually, I'll always strike
on something!
"I went to Africa last summer," comes a shy answer. "Tell us
about your visit there!" we respond. Soon, a colorful glimpse
into one of the most captivating countries in the world is
offered through the eyes of a young student who traveled on a
very strict budget.
"Wow!" she exclaimed. "I took tons of pictures. It was so great!
I could go on forever..."
"Then why don't you?"
Finding Topics
--------------
One of the most helpful exercises in my novice writing workshops
is called "Finding Topics." I think that if a new writer begins
with subjects that are familiar, with topics they know and care
about or have experienced first-hand, success will come much
sooner and the writing process will be far more rewarding than
if those writers chose subjects that required volumes of research.
A student writing about a trip to Africa who hasn't actually
traveled there, for example, will have a much more difficult time
than one who has experienced the thrilling adventure. That's not
to say that with lots of research and good writing skills, the
topic couldn't be handled -- but for a new writer, it's a big
undertaking. It would be better for the untraveled student to
write about a first-hand experience.
Choosing familiar topics allows new writers to work with
confidence and authority, without the distraction that research
can cause. It also cuts down on the possibility of becoming
frustrated and discouraged. In turn, it is likely to lead to a
growing list of publication credits, which can help with future
sales.
Making a List, Checking it Twice
--------------------------------
To help new writers uncover the writer within and discover the
process of writing -- getting words on paper -- I ask workshop
participants to make a list of topics that revolve around their
personal life experiences. These experiences can include family
life, friendships, religion, hardships, relationships, ambitions,
achievements, hobbies, disabilities, culture, travel, jobs....
Subjects that they can relate to personally, tackle with first-
hand knowledge, and indulge in wholeheartedly.
Even after years of writing, a writer can update this list and
come up with a whole new batch of possible ideas. Topics from
the list can be worked into so many saleable packages that the
more you refer to the list, the more fresh ideas will be spurred.
For instance, you might write a self-help piece about how to deal
with your new step-grandmother. You might also write a humorous
poem on the topic. Perhaps you could cover it from a religious
point of view. Maybe you will use it as an article about how
families are constantly changing.
Just for fun, why not give the exercise a try? Here are a few
topics that were generated by some of my workshop participants:
* My system for running a household and holding down two part-
time jobs
* My system for teaching children how to cook
* How to save money by bartering
* How to build and furnish a dream dollhouse
* How to build a tree stand, tie flies, make soap, can turnips,
grow peanuts, make wine, prospect for gold, hunt sasquatch...
* How to plan for a happy retirement
* Rewards of being a volunteer
* How to make money at home... How to start a new business...
* Growing up on a remote ranch
* Home schooling... Organic gardening...
* The do's and don'ts of being a step-parent...a mother-in-law...
* Learning to accept a homosexual brother... coping with AIDS...
Go ahead, create a list for yourself and get busy! Write that
"Home Schooling" topic up into a humorous poem. Write a fictional
piece based on your blended family. Send out an informative
article on the secrets of growing peanuts. Put together a cookbook
aimed at young chefs. Write a self-help piece, an inspirational
story, a shocking poem, an essay, a novel....
Write, just write!
