Seeking Good Resources For Webzine Design and promotion, getting submissions, etc.

Recommended Posts

Any other zine editors out there? This is going to be a monthly thing with creative writing (fiction, satire, whatever I get that's good), book and website reviews, blog reviews, hopefully some regular columns. I've worked on zines before but this will be my first attempt at starting one. I have a couple of specific questions:Where should I promote the zine and post calls for submissions? I've done this on a few message boards and classified ad sites but I know I need to cover a lot more ground in order to get a good selection of material. And, anyone have suggestions for design software programs that work well for zines? Or web resources with good tips on webzine design?

Depends upon how skilled you really are at what you do.You could do some serious damage with some good PHP/MYSQL integration (damage in the good way). But if you don't know PHP, that's useless to you.With HTML/XHTML and CSS, It won't be as editably friendly, but it'll serve it's purpose. Those are your main options, I'm unsure of any particular web-zine program, however with some basic graphics, and such, you can come out on top.I'm unfamiliar with the whole 'web-zine' layout idea. I'm guessing it's like a blog, just with content from a bunch of people. However how do you want it laid out? And placement and such..You give me some basic information, I might be able to get you started on the coding (I DO know PHP, so I can pimp it out. (the good way)).However i've got scheduling issues coming up, so I'll need to get back to you about it.In the end - It'd be more productive for you to learn PHP yourself, It'll come in handy if this isn't your only site (Which I doubt it'll be)Panda
