A note from a SOFTBLOW contributor about his own journal:
Freehand is a journal devoted to handwritten work. We are interested in poetry and short prose, marginalia, drafts, letters, journal entries, work that is composed entirely in longhand, work
drafted on unconventional materials (such as napkins, envelopes, postcards), mixtures of writing and print, and work that explores the interstices between writing and drawing. We are deeply
interested in issues of legibility, the creative process, and the handmade vs. mechanical aspects of writing. We are not presently seeking out "found" prose/poetry or calligraphic examples of
already published work, although we are open to persuasion. Neatness doesn’t necessarily count; neither does sloppiness. Freehand also seeks to publish essays that touch upon the above topics (we prefer if these are typed).
Submissions are read from September 1 through January 1, 2005. Please include a SASE. Please query us first concerning electronic submissions at freehandjournal@ yahoo.com (go ahead and send
jpegs, so long as they're legible -- we may ask you to rescan upon acceptance). All originals will be returned to author. Expected date of publication for Freehand #1: May 1, 2005.
