We're writing to tell you about the upcoming issue of Amplifx Magazine, coming out this November. Amplifx is a Lansing-based community organization and magazine that focuses on issues of equality, social justice, environmentalism, community empowerment and solidarity/coalition building. It is published bi-monthly on recycled paper with soy ink, and prints locally generated textual, visual and creative work, including poetry, short fiction/non-fiction, photography, graphic design, comics, op ed pieces, reviews, journalistic articles, and more.
The theme for the next issue is creative responses that communities have had or can have to the need for social change. Examples of this might include creation of alternative economies, media justice movements, sharing of local resources, interdependence and building of sustainable initiatives. We are actively looking for submissions that consider this theme. If you have writing, artwork, thoughts/contributions, please send them our way at submit@amplifx.org. All submissions are due by November 1st.
Amplifx Magazine is always accepting submissions on a rolling basis, even if they do not directly relate to the theme of the issue. Also, Amplifx Magazine shares a network of syndicated content with several other Campus Progress/Center for American Progress sponsored publications in the country. If your submission is published, there is potential for it to be republished or picked up by magazines at other universities, which increases readership/distribution for your writing and artwork.
For more ways to get involved with Amplifx, visit our "Get Involved" webpage at http://amplifx.org/involved.
Our weekly meetings are on Sundays at 3pm at Gone Wired. They are run democratically and are open to the public, and you are always welcome at them!
Looking forward to hearing from you and working with you,
Peace
The Amplifx Staff.
