SMILE, HON, YOU'RE IN BALTIMORE!
BALTIMORE – Going gray waiting for the MARC? Wet leaves bring your
commute to a screeching halt? Maybe that red-light camera got your
number. Or the bike lanes that only seem to run through other
people's neighborhoods just aren't big enough for an OCLV carbon frame
AND and a '78 Buick. Any which way, Eight-Stone Press (ESP) wants to
know!
Through December 31, 2008, ESP – publisher of the award-winning SMILE, HON, YOU'RE IN BALTIMORE! series – is seeking your transit-themed stories, essays, poetry, photography and other artwork for an upcoming special focus issue of SMILE, HON. Potential topics/perspectives of interest include, but are not limited to: mass transit (including bus, MARC, light rail, subway, air travel, etc.); automobile (including commuting, taxis, etc.); bicycle (including city, rural, etc.); and pedestrian ventures. Articles (100 - 2,000 words) are preferably received via e-mail (wpt@eightstonepress.com) as attached Word documents. Image files should be at least 5" x 7", 300+ dpi (.TIF, .JPG, or .PDF format). All contributors will receive a byline/artistic credit for their work as well as two (2) complimentary copies of the issue in which their work appears.
>From the harbor to the hills, SMILE, HON, YOU'RE IN BALTIMORE! collects the tales of those on whom Mobtown has left her indelible mark. Polished, professional essays; barroom sermons delivered from the sanctity of a favorite stool; the poet's fleeting sentiment, captured in both word and snapshot – SMILE, HON offers a slice of Baltimore as told by Baltimore, presented with the time-honored DIY accessibility of a limited-run, handcrafted zine.
