Visual artists, writers, designers, and revisers wanted for the first 2 issues of Toxic!
The Magazine: Toxic is a free online magazine that explores the limits of imagination. Each issue covers a quirky and fascinating theme. The first one is Cosmos Saga, where we go deep into the most fascinating aspects of the universe. The second issue, Lurid Mind, is an inward journey that brings the most intriguing, astonishing and, sometimes, dark aspects of the mind.
How we work: We are a cooperative. Contributors get: full credit for their work, keep their copyright (which means you can do anything with your work published by us, including publishing it somewhere else), a full profile in the magazine (a great way to get commissioned work), and a share in the profits. (see details under Commission).
Type of work we are looking for:
YES
Imaginative, unusual and, especially for writers, engaging works. We want people to be elated by our magazine. Short graphic novels (up to 5 pages) and works that combine visual and written content are particularly welcome.
NOT REALLY
Academic articles, personal interpretations of quantum mechanics, relativity, etc… poems, and extracts of novels.
Designers – one for each issue

Visual/Graphic artists - anything astonishing. Let your imagination run free.
Please make sure to: include your name next to a copyright symbol © on the bottom of the image.

Please try to send your work before the 20th of Feb. We will consider works submitted after the date but they will probably appear in latter issues.

We have a fixed expense of U$ 2,000 per issue. That includes operational (website creation/maintenance, lawyer, hosting) and long term costs (marketing, fundraising, management).
