I am an experienced writer and would love to contribute. Unfortunately I can't seem to access the application link? Says the page no longer exists. Please let me know how I can write in.

Ditto Achilles on both counts.

The paper edition is alas no more, but you can submit to the e-zine.

Are writers able to view the magazine without a subscription?

Everyone can view it. :)

Great, I'll be sure to submit something. Out of curiosity what went wrong with the paper magazine?

[Bob Hubbard]

Basically, not enough subscribers and advertisers to cover the costs of printing it, and the amount of submissions dwindled to nothing leaving very little to put in it. With the Ezine, short dryspells don't hurt us much, and you get the bonus of immediate feedback and a larger readership.

I thought it was always an ezine...with the huge amount of print on demand going on these days you could do a paper mag again... www.lulu.com (http://www.lulu.com)

Been considering the lulu route, to republish the original run of packaged magazines, as well as occasional "best of" editions pulling posts from here. Just haven't had time to spare to do all the editing needed, lol.

[Freestyler777]

Can I post articles? I am quite an experienced writer, having been published in my former judo club's newsletter five or six times. I train at a different club now, but I still want to continue writing essays for wrestlers and judokas on topics that would interest those kind of athletes/martial artists. I have a lot of knowledge to give. If you want to see what I have wrote, just ask me, and I'll give you the webpage and the link to my stuff.

[Bob Hubbard]

Anyone can post them, as long as they have the legal right to. :)

[Freestyler777]

Can someone help me out with the guidlines for essay submissions? The links on the first post are not working. I'd like to contribute some writing, and I'd like to know the basics, like word count, format, etc...
