And by that I mean fixing everything.
Bear with me. Almost everything here is very, very old.
Everything’s Cancelled
Due to COVID-19 and doing what must be done to practice social distancing in order to flatten the curve (and save lives) during this pandemic, all in-person appearances are cancelled/postponed till further notice. Please stay safe and well out there. I miss you!
StokerCon 2016 Appearence
Next month, I’ll be in Las Vegas for the inaugural STOKERCON. While there I’ll be co-judging the LUCKY 13 HORROR SHORT FILM COMPETITION (last day to enter is today!) and taking pitches for RUE MORGUE magazine.
Read on for what I’ll be looking for at the pitch sessions (and see you in Vegas!)…
I will be accepting feature article/cover story pitches for RUE MORGUE magazine at StokerCon2016. However, writers interested in being location correspondents and reviewers are also welcome. RUE MORGUE is a print publication with a two-month lead time; we prefer to time coverage to month of release, so please keep that in mind when preparing your pitches. Pitches should detailed but succinct. They should include a rundown of what you’d like to cover (be it a film, book, video game, artist, cultural event/movement, etc.), who you would be interviewing for the piece (and whether you can attain the interview yourself or require our assistance), how long in word/page count you envision it, and whether it would have any sidebar articles or reviews to go with it. Lastly, RUE MORGUE is a horror mag, so please don’t pitch fantasy or sci-fi articles unless there is a strong horror element. Also, we don’t publish fiction, so none of that either, please.
Candyman in Rue Morgue
Rue Morgue has been a part of my professional life for the better part of eighteen years now and, in these very strange and unprecedented times, the mag could use a bit of your help. Retail distribution has always been one of the significant ways that our magazine finds its way to readers, and now thanks to COVID-19, those retail chains have largely shut their doors (at least temporarily). So, if you like the mag and value our insights into horror culture and entertainment, please consider ordering a paper copy directly from the website or snagging the digital version. The Candyman issue won’t be in stores. Thanks, and stay safe out there!
