Call for Submissions: Pothi (Indian Writing)
Pothi.com is announcing the launch of its e-Magazine Pothiz with the purpose of bringing good quality, contemporary writing to the readers. Entries are invited for the first issue of the magazine to come out in July 2010.

What can be submitted?

Fiction/Non-fiction/Poetry/Reviews/Other (experimental) forms aimed at a general reader. Basically a piece whose audience is not too niche. Short Story is good. Long story is good too. An interview with an astrophysicist is good and so is an article talking about astrophysics as a career. An article about various theories around black holes is unlikely to make into the magazine though (too niche). Book/Movie/Product Reviews are also welcome.

The entry should be written by you and/or you should have the right to submit it for publishing in the magazine.

Who can submit entries? Preference will be given to Indian writing, although magazine is open to everyone.

What is the deadline? June 15th 2010

How to submit? Through the submission form.

Which languages can the entries be submitted in? Currently English and Hindi (No discrimination against other languages. Just that right now we can't put editorial resources for all the languages). Hindi content should be typed in a Unicode compatible font. We can not handle hand-written entries at this stage.

What is the incentive? You don't get to become rich with this. But one entry selected as "Featured Entry" will receive Pothi.com Store coupon worth Rs. 250.

Will all submitted entries get into the magazine? No. The entries will be selected and edited. Top ones will go in the issue. If there are more good entries, we may create a section on the website for "Other Entries" and put them up there.
