Deadline: 30 August 2012
The Obliterary Journal Vol. 2 is going to be a themed issue, and the theme is: MEAT
We are looking for short works of graphic fiction / graphic non-fiction / photo-essays / infographics, ranging in length from 1 to 20 pages, dealing primarily with various aspects of meat-eating and meat-production. We're looking for authors/artists who will explore the morality and ethics of non-vegetarianism, examine the business of raising animals and killing them and selling their body parts, delve into the history and politics of religious food taboos, take up the PETA $1 million cultured meat challenge, begin eating bugs as a way to combat global warming... you get the picture. Please mail us at blaft [at) blaft (dot] com with your concepts or partial work. Page size is 7 in. by 9 in. We're looking at finalizing a table of contents by October.
Despite all those cool reviews we linked to above, we are still a struggling independent publishing house, and we can't pay much. Upon acceptance we will negotiate a payment based on length, how much work our editorial and design team put in, and other considerations.
WE ARE ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN
