I am thrilled to resume my role as SOLO editor, and am now hoping to receive submissions for our upcoming, October (Halloween) issue.
Are you a lone arranger overseeing some odd/creepy/morbidly fascinating collections? Do you have cool items in your custody meriting more exposure to the archival world?
If so, please get in touch with me (alevine@artifexpress.com) with a some details about your role, and collections. We are aiming for a 1000 word (max) submission, with a (Friday) 10/20 deadline. We will publish the issue on Tuesday, 10/31(Halloween!!!).
