Hey everyone!

For those of you who don't already know, I run an online magazine called The Guthan ([link]). It was started as a way for writers and photographers to get their work out there and see what the world thinks. It has yet to get of the ground, however, because we have had very unreliable staff teams... still, I'm not ready to give up.

So, time for a new plan!

In the past, I have managed to find plenty of people who want to get their work into the magazine - writers, photographers, illustrators, anyone - but most of them have been unwilling or unable to commit to it for longer than a month (if that). So instead of having a staff of 10 who I'm constantly chasing after, there will be two editors - me and Zenobia (maybe a third eventually, don't know...) - and everyone else who's interested will have an account to submit stuff and have a chance at getting some exposure to the general public. This way, in theory, we will have an easier time putting out an issue each month (because there will be more staff) and I won't be as much of a stress case.

So, if you write or do photography as a hobby or are looking into it for a future career... or are already doing that kind of thing and just want something else to do on the side, send me an e-mail (oceanlady@gmail.com) or a note with some examples of your work. I'll run it by Zen and then send you back an e-mail (or note) with instructions on how to join the staff forum.

Really, all we ask of you is an article every month or two or some photos to do with an article that caught your eye... it's not a huge job, especially if it's something you already do all the time. This is not a paying job, just a way of getting some exposure, so it should be something you like doing.
