Implosion and Bloodsongs
Email Address: smudge21@aol.com
Editor: Cynthia Conlin
Critiques rejected manuscripts: Occasionally
Rights: Contributors retain all rights to their works
after they are published.
Looking for: Fiction: Short stories must follow the
magazine’s format, which is bizarre and eccentric. This
means no sappy love stories, no writings that convey a message of
redeeming value like a TV sit-com would, no porno and no
re-written “Friday the 13th” or “Twilight
Zone” episodes. We look for subject matter that is unique
and far out, that evokes fear, awe, laughter, or any other strong
emotion. Please don't send any stories longer than 6,000 words.
Also, don't submit more than three stories at a time. Staple your
pages together and paper-clip the envelope to them.
For Bloodsongs: Bloodsongs requires short stories up to 10,000
words. Novel extracts will be considered only if they stand up as
a self-contained piece of fiction. We are only interested in
well-written, original works that contain strong elements of
horror. Dabbling in other genres (e.g. fantasy/SF/crime) is fine
as long as your story is primarily a horror tale. There are no
limits to style, theme or content.
Poetry: We no longer accept poetry for Implosion. For Bloodsongs:
We are keen to receive well-written, stylish pieces that inspire
a sense of terror or dread. Black humour and satire are also
equally acceptable. No word limits - but if you are planning on
submitting your 400 page epic history of the Cthulhu Mythos, then
it might be wise to query first. Don't send more than two poems
at a time.
Non-Fiction: We also include non-fiction, mainly feature articles
and interviews. We are open to many ideas, but topics must stick
to the bizarre. Examples for features are types of
paranormal/supernatural activity, strange and bizarre customs or
rituals, and visits to bizzare places. We’re also interested
in features on eccentric people of international fame, such as
Jim Rose or Weird Al Yankovik; those of smaller fame, such as a
self-proclaimed headmaster of a large city’s vampire clan or
a death-row inmate; or a professional in an odd occupation, such
as a hypnotist who specializes in past-life regression or an
entrepreneur mortician who embalms and mummifies pets.
For Bloodsongs, we like to run interviews with popular horror
personalities and features examining horror in culture or
society. All topics must be horror related.
Length requirements: See Above
Payment: Well, I’m sure you’ve heard this line
before: We’re a new magazine, limited budget, yada, yada,
yada, yada. The biggest payment, of course, is that your work
will be in a professionally done magazine. You’ll naturally
get a free copy (ususally 2) of the issue your work is in. At
present, payment for non-fiction pieces ranges from $10-$50. For
photos, we will pay up to $50 for cover; $10 inside. Fiction,
contributor copies.
Comments: Common reasons we often turn short stories away:
Many stories have very weak beginnings. We look for stories that
grab the reader right away with some action. Also, many times
there is no sympathy with the characters. You must relate the
human factor. Thirdly, some stories are just too abstract. If the
reader can't understand it, that doesn't mean he's going to want
to sit around and analyze it. The stories must make sense.
Fourthly, some have huge factual errors or scientific
inaccuracies. Have someone else read your story and honestly
critique it before you submit it. Finally, having someone else
read it will also cover stupid errors. We receive many
submissions that are riddled with inane spelling, grammar and
punctuation errors. This only makes the writer look like someone
with a grade-school mentality.
Sample Copies: If you can't find the magazines near you,
you can order a sample copy direct from the publisher: For each
sample issue, U.S. residents send $5 (Checks to IMPLOSION),
Canadians send $6 (U.S. funds), and those anywhere else send $7
(U.S. funds) in the form of an international money order or
well-concealed cash to: Implosion (or Bloodsongs) Sample Copy

How To Submit: All written submissions must be typed. For
now, we are asking that all submissions be sent by mail, as the
volume of unread manuscirpts is very high, and we are having
assistant editors read them, some of whom do not have e-mail.
Include on each submission your name, phone number, and mailing
and e-mail addresses. We can not guarantee the return of your
submission, so make a copy.

Rights: Copyright always remains with the author. We only

Looking for: "Open" submissions. Fiction and
poetry.
Length requirements: "Open"
Size of website: 200+ pages
Payment: We publish only in 'digital form'. We choose
works on the basis of quality of writing style with a very strong
requirement that stories in general must be a 'good' read. Poetry
we publish Must Obviously be 'from the heart' so as to convey to
the reader the stirred feeling of the author. We have a Free
magazine which we use to showcase writers works which are about
to be published in 'digital form' and SOLD from our 'Bookstore'.
We do Not pay for work when it is only shown in the Free magazine
but as stated above works in the magazine are only excerpts or
small pieces from the same author soon to be published in the
'Bookstore'. For this reason - unless you have a collection of
10+ poems/ or 6+ short stories; a submission is wasting both our
times.
Have a good read of our Information for Writers. All is explained

InformationWeek

Email Address: pkrass@cmp.com
Editor: Peter Krass
Rights: InformationWeek acquires first worldwide serial
rights and all subsequent electronic rights. This means that
InformationWeek will be the first print periodical to publish the
article anywhere in the world. It also means that InformationWeek
has the subsequent right to re-publish the article in any
electronic format. InformationWeek also reserves the right to
sell reprints of the article, in either print or electronic
format.
Looking for: Sections in the magazine that take freelance
contributions include Trends (hot new technologies), Industry
Watch (profiles of technology suppliers), Business Strategies
(how companies use cutting-edge technologies to gain advantage),
Interview (people in the news), and Book Review. At times our
news sections also need freelance contributions. The best way to
understand these magazine sections to read a few issues.
Length requirements:
Payment:
Rates vary, but they generally start at $1.00 a word. Payment is
made on the assigned length, not on the word count submitted by
the writer or the finally-published version. With properly
submitted receipts, we reimburse writers for common expenses such
as phone calls, fax charges, overnight or on-line service
charges. With the approval of the assigning editor, we also
reimburse a writer for necessary travel, including
transportation, hotel, and meal expenses. If we judge an article
to be unacceptable, even after a rewrite, we pay a 25% kill fee.
All bills are to be submitted through the assigning editor.
In addition, InformationWeek now pays an additional fee for the
rights to distribute stories electronically. These rights cover
reproduction of stories on InformationWeek's World Wide Web site
(called InformationWeek Interactive), any CD-ROM, on-line
service, other Internet-delivered format, or any other electronic
form. To acquire these rights, InformationWeek pays the writer an
additional fee equal to 10% of the assigned story rate. For
example, if Information Week paid $1,000 for an article, it would
pay the writer an additional $100 (or 10% of $1,000) for the
electronic right, for a total of $1,100.
How We Pay: Payment is made on acceptance and can be expected
within 30 days of receipt of a purchase order from our accounting
department. Unless other arrangements are made, acceptance occurs
after any rewrite is completed and any editors' or copyeditors'
questions are answered. Writers are expected to submit an invoice
to their assigning editor and sign a purchase order. In addition,
expenses should be itemized on a separate invoice, with receipts
attached.
Comments:
What We Expect From Freelance Writers: Writers must meet their
deadlines and keep, within reason, to their assigned story
length. Writers must also be willing to provide one rewrite of
their story, if necessary, with instructions from their assigning
editor. The writer also is asked to submit a list of sources with
name, title, company, and telephone number for possible
fact-checking. After the story is copyedited, we fax page proofs
to the writer and expect the writer to phone their assigning
editor with any corrections. Freelance authors must have no
current on-going financial relationship with computer industry
vendors. If you have consulted in the past or taken payment from
a vendor, you must disclose the nature of that relationship to
the assigning editor.
Writers also are asked to help our photo editor by providing a
list of sources (with phone numbers) of people who figure
prominently in their stories. We sometimes ask for this before a
first draft is filed. We also ask writers to help us produce
charts and graphs with statistics that are relevant to their
stories. (This can include market share or growth data, or lists
of products.) Our art department uses this information to create
graphics.
Unless other arrangements are made, we require contributors to
file stories either electronic mail or on a Windows- or
Macintosh-formatted diskette.
How To Submit:
Brief queries should be sent, via mail, fax, or E-Mail, to: Peter
Krass, senior managing editor, features. Mail: InformationWeek,
600 Community Dr., Manhasset, NY 11030. Fax: 516-562-5036. Email:
pkrass@cmp.com. Include some information about yourself (either
in a cover letter or a short resume) and some recent clips. We
generally do not consider telephone queries from writers who are
new to the magazine.
*In general, InformationWeek does not accept unsolicited
articles. Still, writers send them in from time to time, and
eventually, we read them. But very, very few get accepted.
