A Few Things You Might Care To Know Before Submitting
* Unfortunately, we cannot at this time offer any monetary compensation for accepted work.
* We acquire serial rights in North America and only consider previously unpublished work (online or print). We ask that you credit [out of nothing] as the first place of publication.
* Simultaneous submissions are okay but we kindly request immediate notification if the piece is picked up by another publisher.
* We'd also like to be able republish pieces in future print anthologies, issues, etc., based on the writer/artists's consent, and under terms to be negotiated.
* We fully support Creative Commons licensing for any or all of the work we publish. Should you wish to include a CC licensing agreement with your piece / pieces, please provide the desired terms. We can then work together to ensure proper registration of your work.
* There is no word limit on submissions. We accept all standard file formats but we prefer compressed files (mpeg, jpeg, etc) for initial evaluation. We will ask for originals/high resolution files upon acceptance. (No .docx files please. We're still in the MS Office Stone Age.) Submitters should bear in mind that ours is a web publication and that issues of storage and bandwidth always apply. We will verify all formatting, etc. upon acceptance.

* We accept electronic submissions only. Please send your work to us at: shelling [.] peanuts [at] gmail.com.

[out of nothing] (http://www.outofnothing.org) is an electronic publication featuring new works in image, sound, text and the digital arts, as well as works located at the inter-sections between these media.

In general, [out of nothing] is interested in works that address, in some manner:
     * the vacuum
     * salvage / remainders
     * imaginary spaces possessed of imaginary dimensions
     * darkness / lightlessness
     * reduced or infinitesimal means
     * the exponential
     * self-abnegating symbols
     * the blank
     * obliteration
     * the inconsequential
     * refusal
     * the contentless / general contentlessness
     * the generic and / or undifferentiated and / or the contra-original
     * adhesive agents in search of clients to bind
     * none of the above or below

[out of nothing] is published in online installments, on an irregular but roughly quarterly seasonal basis that nevertheless remains chronically TBD. Each issue is theme-based, and is introduced by a special M.C.; or, emcee. Occasional print anthologies are also envisioned.

[out of nothing] is edited by Janice Lee, Eric Lindley & Joe Milazzo.
