TBP IS UNDERGOING A MAJOR TRANSFORMATION!
Communication from Lise Quinn, TBP Editor, 03/27/08:
This is just a little update so that those who are interested can know what is going on with TBP. We know that TBP has ran out of money and cannot print, at least not in the format that it has been for the past 20 years or so. Yes, this is an incredible shame. I have been talking to many people, listening to their advice and I have come up with a preliminary idea.
To ‘get the ball rolling’ I am thinking about TBP as a subscription only newsletter type of publication for now. While distributors can be a source of money, they cost TBP more than the money they bring in. Since we have no advertising to fill in the gap, TBP can’t continue in this way. So to drop distribution for awhile may make it possible for TBP to stay in print.
As I said, this is a preliminary idea, so I have not worked out the details or the costs. The price of TBP will drop dramatically, but I need to cover postage, and I have couple hundred or so current subscribers who have already paid (and the money spent) to fulfill.
If I can do it, I want to get this issue in May, but I realize it is already the end of March! It may be June instead.
So what do I initially need? Content! The page count will be 12 to 16 pages at first, with at least one to two pages will have the mailing addresses, the TOC, etc.
“The Beltane Papers is a forum for women to express the sacred in their lives. We are interested in all the ways women explore the sacred, including crafts, pilgrimages, herbs, divination, personal experiences with women’s mysteries. We are also known for and actively pursue articles of a scholarly nature on women's culture. Although our publication has a Pagan/Goddess/Feminist perspective, we welcome a broad spectrum of women’s spiritual paths, beliefs and experiences. We print reviews of books, tarot decks, etc. At this time we only accept writing and art by women. “
There is limited space; essays and personal experiences can be no longer than a page and a half, scholarly articles 2 pages, recipes, spells, crafts, and ritual, no more than a page and a half. There will be less graphics, but artwork is part of TBP's soul and artwork submissions of a smaller nature, 1/2 a page size or less, black and white, are welcome. Book reviews will have to be a paragraph or so, and I may not include book covers, we'll see how the space is working.
Deadlines: well, what is the point of making anything to concrete at this point, but April 20th? If I don't have enough material then maybe May 15th. Let's see what happens. Send submissions to editor@thebeltanepapers.net
