Moira has been hit by a bad flu bug, so I've stepped in for this
issue. After some discussion, Moira and I have decided to retire
the "editor@inkspot.com" e-mail address to avoid confusion; there
are several editors in Inkspot now. :-) She'll be using
moira@inkspot.com, and you can reach me at ohi@inkspot.com. For

SPECTRUM
Linguapress.
Editor: Andrew Rossiter
SPECTRUM is a current affairs and cultural magazine for students
of English as a foreign/second language at advanced level. FREQ:
5 times/school year. CIRC: 30K. NEEDS: "Fact and fiction relating
to current issues in the English speaking countries (Mainly
Britain and North America); the principal market... is seniors
studying English in European high schools." Articles and stories
should be written in normal English, "with the worst difficulties
ironed out". LENGTH: Short stories - 1,000 wds max; full-page
articles - 700-850 wds; Dossie r- 2,500-2,800 wds. "A dossier must
always be in the form of at least four self-contained parts,
preferably five or six." GL: Send ms in body of e-mail (*NO*
attachments, please). Multiple submissions (no more than three),
simsubs, and previously published material okay. RIGHTS: One time
worldwide print rights, with the following exception: "While
authors retain general copyright of any work published in
Linguapress magazines, Linguapress reserves the right to license
republication of articles and stories in other educational
publications (i.e. school books) and guarantees authors at least
50% of any further royalties arising from such publications."
PAYS: Articles and Stories - 250 French Francs (FF) per page;
Dossiers - FF 750. Pays on publication. RT: One month. TIPS:
"Preferably, please suggest your subject(s) and get the go-ahead
from the editor before writing. Getting the go-ahead from the
editor does not mean your article will be automatically accepted;
it does, however, save you from wasting time writing or sending
articles that have no chance of publication." ALSO: "The ideal
article is one that combines the following qualities: a) it will
interest high school readers; b) it has some human interest and
is relevant to current issues; c) it is more than just an
anecdote, but says something relevant to contemporary British or
North American society or history, and it can also be
illustrated." LAST: "Short stories should have a clear and
preferably strong storyline, clear characterization, at least two
characters, and preferably some dialogue. Stories with a "twist",
an unexpected ending, or an open ending are particularly
appreciated, as they lend themselves very well to use in the
classroom context." [INKSPOT NOTE: Currently, 1 US Dollar =
approximately 7 French Francs(FF)] (SS)

JACKHAMMER II
Eggplant Productions
P.O. Box 2248, Schiller Park, IL 60176
President & Editor-in-Chief: Raechel Henderson.
JACKHAMMER II is a unique electronic speculative fiction
publication. Stories are posted on the website for as long as
readers vote for the story (no less than a month and no longer
than a year). FREQ: As necessary (possibly daily). CIRC: 1.5k.
NEEDS: Speculative Fiction stories. LENGTH: 3,000 wds max. This is
a firm limit. GL: "Stories should be submitted as plain text e-mail
to submissions@eggplant-productions.com in the body of the
message. No attachments. *I don't accept snail mail submissions.*
Please include all pertinent information in the submission (see
E-mail Submission Standards for Eggplant Productions [Inkspot
Note: URL listed below] for more information). Please make sure
that your e-mail address is correct. Simultaneous submissions are
accepted as long as they are disclosed as such in the submission.
*We do not accept reprints.* If the story has appeared anywhere
in print, on the web, on a newsgroup or an e-mailed e-zine, it is
considered a reprint. The one exception I make is e-mail-based
critique groups (such as Critters). If the story has appeared on
your webpage (even if the only person who looked at it was your
mother) I will still consider it a reprint." RIGHTS: First
Electronic Worldwide. One year maximum. PAYS: Per story: "Payment
is an initial $25 (US) (upon return of signed and dated contract)
and .50 (US) for each day the story is posted on the website
after an initial one month period." RT: 2-4 weeks average.
TIP(S): "My key criterion in evaluating a story is whether or not
the story moves me in some way. I want to care about the
characters, their stories, and the world you've created. I have a
broad definition of what is speculative fiction, but stories
should have an element of speculation or the fantastic to them."
ALSO: "Taboos: These are stories that either I flat out won't
accept or have seen too much of -- Child molestation; stories with
excessive gore; stories involving the God and Devil; stories
based on the idea that humans developed from aliens crash landing
millions of years ago; writer stories; excerpts from novels
unless they are self-contained episodes." LAST: "Since Jackhammer
E-zine is available free on the web I want to keep the stories
PG-13. Adult language isn't a problem as long as it is in keeping
with the story and characters." NOTE: Jackhammer II is an
evolution of and replacement for the original Jackhammer E-zine.
The new format will launch in August 2000. (SS)

VESTAL REVIEW
Co-Editors: Mark Budman and Sue O'Neill.
VESTAL REVIEW is an online flash fiction magazine. FREQ:
Quarterly. CIRC: 1K. NEEDS: Flash fiction in almost any genre.
LENGTH: 500 wds max (firm limit). GL: Simsubs and multiple
submissions (no more than two) okay, previously published
material not accepted. "All submissions should be sent
electronically to editor@stny.rr.com. They should be pasted in
the body of your e-mail. No attachments please. Please indicate
italics with asterisks (*). Don't indent paragraphs and do insert
a blank line between paragraphs. Put the word Submission in the
subject, followed by a colon and the title of your story. A cover
letter is fine. We would like to know whom we are dealing with.
Don't forget your legal name and the postal address so we can
mail you the check." RIGHTS: "In exchange for these fees, we are
asking for First Electronic Rights, including no posting of the
accepted story anywhere, on the Web or in print, until 120 days
after its exclusive appearance on the Vestal Review Web site
(don't forget, we are a quarterly magazine). After this period,
all rights revert back to the writer, but we ask that you
acknowledge Vestal Review in any subsequent printing of the
material published here, be that on the Web or in hard copy. We
are also asking for one year archiving rights and anthology
rights." PAYS: $6-$12/story; $7-$12/story under 100 wds. Pays on
publication. RT: 2 weeks. TIPS: "We realize that there are
different definitions of what a flash story is and all of them
have merit. In our definition, a flash story is no longer than
500 words and it has a plot. If it's longer than 500 words and/or
has no plot, we are not interested. We are also not interested in
porn, racial slurs, excessive gore, or obscenity. On the other
end of the spectrum, no children's or preachy stories either,
please. Our target audience is people over 18, so R-rated content
is OK, but not X-rated. Most genres, other than children's,
syrupy romance or hard science fiction, are accepted -- and we
love humor." (SS)

ASK THE LAWYER
-----------------------------------------------------------------
by Mark Fowler <askthelawyer@inkspot.com>
A publisher used my story without permission. What can I do?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Q: A year ago, a magazine bought a story of mine that had been
previously "published" on the Internet. I was not given a
contract and assumed the publisher had non-exclusive publishing
rights. In fact, I sold the story to several newspapers. Now this
magazine publisher has published a book and my article is in it.
There is a copyright notice at the bottom of the page saying they
own my story. I wasn't notified they were going to publish it or
given a byline. (I was listed in the table of contents as a
contributor, giving only my first name and last initial.) What
should I do? Is the copyright still mine? Can I get compensated?
A: Based upon the facts as you have described them, you may have
a legitimate beef against the magazine. Contact an experienced
copyright lawyer who can work with you to investigate all of the
relevant facts and circumstances.
Can I resell material I wrote for the company I worked for?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Q: I used to work for a company that published two small
bimonthly magazines. The company's still in business, but is no
longer publishing the magazines. They still own the copyright to
my work there, don't they? Or could I resell the articles I wrote?
How about work from other writers to which we purchased all rights?
A: Under U.S. law, an employer presumptively owns all rights in
the copyrightable works of its employees created within the scope
of their regular employment. Thus, a magazine generally owns the
work of employee-writers on its payroll. (This is one aspect of
the so-called work-for-hire doctrine in the copyright law.) Based
upon the facts as described in your question, you would need to
obtain permission from your former employer to resell the articles
you wrote for its magazines. For freelancers and other independent
contractors, the rule is different. Absent a written agreement to
the contrary, the presumption is that the magazine obtains a
non-exclusive right to publish an article submitted to it. Your
question, however, suggests that the writers sold "all rights" to
the magazine. The current ownership of the rights would turn then
on whether there was a written agreement with the magazine and
exactly what it said.
Should I register my pen-name to protect my copyright?
------------------------------------------------------
Q: I'm a published free-lance magazine writer. For several
personal articles on marriage in a major women's magazine, I
have used a pseudonym, which I made up based on my middle and
maiden names. Do I have to register or copyright this pseudonym
to protect it or myself in any way? If so, how do I proceed?
A: Your articles became copyright-protected automatically as
soon as they were "fixed in a tangible medium of expression,"
that is, as soon as the ink flowed onto your writing paper or
the keystrokes were saved on your hard drive. The fact that your
work was published pseudonymously does not vitiate the copyright
or affect your ownership of the work. Especially if you are a
U.S. national, however, there are certain advantages to
registering the copyrights in works that you are concerned about
protecting. In particular, registration may entitle you to
recover statutory damages (a sort of court-imposed financial
penalty) from an infringer and to recoup your attorneys' fees
incurred in pursuing a successful copyright lawsuit. In
registering the copyrights in pseudonymous works, you may (but
are not required to) reveal your real name on the copyright
registration application. You can download copyright registration
forms and obtain a wealth of information concerning copyright
from the U.S. Copyright Office website at
http://www.lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/. In Canada, there are also
certain (albeit more limited) advantages to copyright registration.
The website of the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, which
also provides downloadable registration applications, may be
accessed at http://cipo.gc.ca/. Does it make sense to register
all of your works? Almost certainly not. Does it make sense to
register your commercially valuable works? It may, if your publisher
does not do so on your behalf.

TEN REASONS WHY EDITORS STOP READING
-----------------------------------------------------------------
by Joyce Faust <joymarie@snet.net>
Editors will quickly stop reading your manuscript if they see
"amateur" written all over it. Remember, editors have piles of
skillfully written manuscripts awaiting their perusal. Following
are ten mistakes that are likely to cause editors to put your
manuscript down and pick up someone else's:
1. IMPROPER MANUSCRIPT FORMAT. Editors spurn messy or improperly
formatted manuscripts. Beginners often make the same mistakes:
single spacing, justified right margins, no page numbers or
headings. Check writing books/articles for proper set-ups. Also,
don't submit stained, creased, ragged-edged or stapled pages (use
paper clips), or pages subjected to smoke. Non-smoking editors
don't appreciate manuscripts reeking of smoke.
2. POOR SPELLING/TYPOS. Use your spellchecker and, more
importantly, your dictionary. Excellent spelling is a top
priority. Efforts must be made to find spelling errors and
correct them. All writers make typos, but if you're an especially
lousy typist, find a good one.
3. MINIMAL USE OF CONTRACTIONS. An instant sign of stilted
writing is the lack of contractions. Don't write, "I am going,"
"She has not said." Characters' dialogue should read like people
speak -- naturally. Occasionally it's okay to say "I am," or "She
has not," because people don't speak using all contractions,
either. Check contraction use and your dialogue will flow more
smoothly.
4. WRONG TENSES. Editors are usually good at catching improper
tenses, but don't appreciate the writer continually losing the
time thread. Ask yourself if the action happening now, yesterday,
or next year. Are your characters speaking in the past, present,
or future?
5. OVERDOING EXCLAMATION POINTS. Excessive use of this
punctuation mark cries beginner. Use them only where special
emphasis is needed. One is enough -- three adds no more emphasis
than one, and simply marks the writer as an amateur.
6. EXCESSIVE -LY WORDS. Editors consider "ly"-word (adverb) usage
lazy writing. Anyone can write, "She said sadly" or "The dog
barked loudly." Find "ly" words and substitute better choices.
Show instead of tell (see #10). Portray what's happening through
creative dialogue or absorbing action, using "ly" words sparingly.
7. INCORRECT BASIC ENGLISH. Writers are expected to know the
difference between "there, their, they're," "to, two, too,"
"it's, its," "your, you're." These fundamentals were taught in
grade school. Spellcheckers don't catch them, so when in doubt,
use your reference books.
8. CARELESS WORD USAGE. Two common word mix-ups are advise/advice
and affect/effect. If you have problems with similarly spelled
words, look them up. They may look alike, but have different
meanings. Editors expect writers to use them correctly.
9. IGNORING REFERENCE BOOKS. Writers must have excellent
reference books and use them. If you want your writing to be
professional, you need a quality dictionary, thesaurus, and
grammar reference book. Most writers have more, but these three
are essential.
10. TELLING -- NOT SHOWING. A major turnoff is when a writer
tells the story instead of shows how it unfolds. Amateur writers
submit pages of mind-numbing explanation of what is happening;
competent writers show what's transpiring through realistic
dialogue and creative character action.
Avoiding these mistakes won't guarantee that your manuscript will
sell -- you still need a good idea and a solid presentation. But
they will reduce your chances of being "passed over" automatically,
in favor of a writer who knows the basics.
