Submission Policy We would like to receive as many articles as possible by or about people who are often underrepresented in US publications, including those on the left: women, queers, the disabled, people of color, rank-and-file workers, and people from nations other than the United States. All genres of writing -- fiction or non-fiction, original writing or translation -- are welcome (a translator needs to get permission from the author of the text that she translates). Beyond writing, we are also very much interested in publishing photos, videos, music, and other kinds of work of art. When it comes to analysis or journalism, we prefer provocative articles on unsettled questions that activists and intellectuals on the left committed to finding an alternative to capitalism would find enlightening or entertaining. Include links and visual aids (such as charts, graphs, and maps) whenever possible to make your article web-worthy. Submitted articles will be edited for readability. We will discuss major editorial changes, such as restatement of the thesis, with the author, but minor changes will be made on our part without further communication, given time constraints of daily publication. Queries concerning editorial choices, publication dates, and so forth may go unanswered. The suggested length of writing is 1,200 words. Articles that are shorter or longer than that are also acceptable, but an article that is longer than 1,600 words may be published in installments. Turn off autoformatting (autoformatted text is difficult to turn into HTML). How to turn off Microsoft Word's autoformatting is explained in "Turn Off Word AutoFormat Features in Word 2000." Look up similar how-to articles for other word-processing programs yourself. If you can, it's best to submit an article in HTML. Contributors need to let us know if any submitted writing has already been published, or is being simultaneously submitted for publication, elsewhere. In the normal course, editorial preference shall be given to previously unpublished writing submitted exclusively to MRZine. Once published by MRZine, however, the copyright to her writing belongs to the author, and she is free to republish it elsewhere (we would appreciate a link to MRZine, if it is republished by another publication on the Net). Send an article, with a brief biography of the contributor, to <yoshie at monthlyreview.org>. Yoshie Furuhashi, Editor
