Thank you!

We've got a full years worth of issues speced at the moment, with about 50 pages of content. We are looking for a few more regular columnists to really flesh things out.

Right now, we have about 9 interviews planned out covering the FMA, and EPAK. If anyone is interested in writing an article or regular column, please see the guidelines on the magazine site.

We're planning on going all out with this.

I just sent the proof out to the columnists to review, so I fully expect the complete issue to be out July 2nd. It weighs in at about 50 pages.

We are also searching for additional contributors.

Basically, every issue we hope to have:
A feature interview
A feature story
4+ regular columns
At least 1 camp review

Also, Humor, product reviews, events listings, web sites, school listings, letters to the editor, and more.

So, there is plenty of room for fresh ideas and content.

I plan on posting 2 versions.
1 is the 1 page at a time, I read it on my PC version
the other is the 'print it myself and fold it so its a real magazine' version.

Beginning with the august issue, there will also be additional subscriber-only content. Once enough interest is there, we will also be offering a regular paper version. Subscribers for the paper edition will have it mailed to them, and also receive access to the online subscribers-only area.

Some of the content will be pulled from MT itself.


To get maximum exposure for your organization and/or school:
- Make sure you are listed on the schools and instructors page.
- Make sure you post your events in the events forum as well as the art specific forum.
- Write an article/review. You get a detailed by-line that can contain both an email address, and web address.
- Submit your book, video or other product to us for review.
