ANNOUNCEMENT: Girlistic Magazine is Shifting Shape:

After careful consideration, we’ve decided to put Girlistic Magazine in its current state on hold for awhile. The Feminism & Fitness issue will be the last PDF issue for awhile. After this issue, the quarterly PDF magazine will go on hiatus. Girlistic Magazine will resume at a future date, but that date is yet to be determined.

However, many sections still will be available on the blog.

Interviews, reviews of books, music, etc, and short articles will be posted regularly on Girlistic’s blog The Feminist Pulse, and we invite anyone who’d like to write an article to submit it for posting. We will announce the quarter’s theme, and those interested in submitting work surrounding that theme can email in their pitch and write their piece for posting.

For those interested in submitting work to be posted on The Feminist Pulse:

From March – June, the theme for articles/interviews/poetry/reviews is Feminism & the TV Nation.

From June – September, the theme for articles/interviews/poetry/reviews is Feminism & the Craft Revolution.

If you’re interested in submitting work, email with your pitch. The current submission guidelines regarding authorship rights, etc still apply, and those can be found at Girlistic.com/magazine.htm.

Who we are:

Girlistic Magazine is a blend of refined intellect and raw entertainment. Think Ms. Magazine and Bitch Magazine have a threesome with Bust Magazine, and the result is a bouncing baby Girlistic.

Themes:
*NOTE: Please submit pitches before writing any material.

March – June 2008: Feminism & the TV Nation
July – September 2008: Feminism & the Craft Revolution

We’re looking for the following submissions:

Interviews (1500-2000 words, including the introduction): We like to know what all the feminist mover-n-shakers are up to. Find someone who is doing something unique in this world, and let us know what your conversation is like.

Book, film, travel and theater reviews (275-325 words), Music Reviews (175-200): Whatever you think is noteworthy feminist fodder.

Articles and Essays (about 2,500  - depending on topic): Politics, sex, pop culture, current affairs, hot happenings, fashion, economics – anything that strikes your fancy and has a feminist core.

Profiles (750-1,000): Know about someone who is making a difference or doing something interesting for feminism? Tell the world!
