Solar Spectrum Number 2

Submissions now being accepted…

Following the successful release of our first edition in January 2001,
Spaced Out is now collecting contributions for the second edition of our annual anthology.

“Solar Spectrum” - the anthology of science fiction material
for gays, lesbians, bisexual, transgender and intersex readers.

This publication is a “first” for Australia and possibly the world -
an annual collection of our stories, poetry, artwork and articles.

We are now collecting submissions for our second issue, due for publication in January 2002.

Final submissions should be received by the end of November 2001 -
other arrangements can be made upon negotiation.

Guidelines remain the same as our successful first issue - -
General aims are to promote enjoyment of science fiction and to increase the public profile of queer issues in some way 
Intended for adults but must be “G rated”, that is, suitable for general readership in order to avoid potential censorship problems 
Submissions must be original, eg. no fiction based upon pre-existing TV shows or characters 
Editors retain the right to determine suitability for publication and to edit submissions as required 
Contributors do not need to be members of Spaced Out, though preference will be given to members if needed 
Contributors do not need to be Australian, or gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex, although preference will be given to contributions that relate to these communities in some way.

We especially welcome original material from budding contributors who would like to see their name in print and to refine their skills through being published!

Please remember that Spaced Out is a non-profit club run by volunteers
and that no payment is possible for contributions -
your reward is the satisfaction of contributing to “the cause”
and seeing a job well done.

For further information, or to receive a contributor’s pro-forma,
please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to
The Editors, Spaced Out, PO Box 363, Preston, Victoria 3072, AUSTRALIA.
