An e-zine is the electronic form of a magazine, delivered via the Internet through the web, by e-mail, as a PDF file, or some other commonly accepted electronic form. It shares many of the characteristics of a paper magazine. It will have a regular publishing schedule: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc. It can accept submissions, which are then approved and edited by an editor or a staff using an agreed upon editorial process. Or it could be produced by a small group of writers. An e-zine will typically publish only a small selection of the work submitted to it, setting a tone for the zine. A website that updates irregularly, publishes everything submitted to them--like a moderated forum--or a personal website with writing by one person should submit to one of the genre categories under Online Writing: Poetry, Fiction, Non-Fiction or Mixed Genre. If your zine is a paper zine with a website, or if the subject matter of the e-zine deals with writing in print, including but not limited to book reviews, criticism and literary theory, it should be submitted to the appropriate sub-category within the Literature category. If your website fits the requirements of an e-zine, please find the correct genre within the E-zines category to submit to. Submitting to an inappropriate category can delay the review of your website. |
