Use the subscription box above or subscribe to: hundredmountain-subscribe@topica.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR and EDITORIAL CONTACTS: E-mail: hundred@newwave.net HUNDRED MOUNTAIN IS AN independent Buddhist-oriented Journal of the Spirit and the Arts. The Internet-only digital magazine has been on the Web since the launch of its debut issue in November 1998. New issues come out online quarterly -- in March, June, September, and December -- or sooner or later, depending upon the editor's state of mind and equilibrium. In addition, there are special issues related to holidays and event such as "What to Get a Buddhist 4 Christmas." Hundred Mountain is geared generally to an audience with some interest in meditation and Buddhism, although an open-spirited, open-hearted---and light-hearted---approach to spiritual practice in daily living is the only real cost of admission. The editor's training in Buddhism is mostly within the Therevadan tradition, yet you will find writings on all Buddhist traditions welcome here, as well as ongoing features on the intersections and interfaith dialogues between Buddhism and other world spiritual traditions. HUNDRED MOUNTAIN HAS a regular staff of one, but with freelance contributors spread across the globe. It is edited and designed by Douglas Imbrogno, who makes his living during the day as feature editor for the Charleston Gazette in Charleston, West Virginia. By night, he crafts Hundred Mountain in the living room of his home in Huntington, West Virginia, on a Macintosh Power PC 7500, primarily with the programs Adobe GoLive for the web design and Macromedia Fireworks for artwork and illustrations. Unless where otherwise noted, all artwork, illustrations and animations are by him. Hundred Mountain is a labor of much love and hair-pulling frustration, pieced together with stray hours after his two kids and supportive spouse ("Are you going back on the computer AGAIN?") have gone to bed, and on the weekends, before his son asks to play his latest computer game fixation. (Current fixations: Baldur's Gate and Total Annihilation.) Like the old pop song, Hundred Mountain gets by with a little help from its friends. Contributors include both lay people and Buddhist monks; working stiffs and brilliant professors; upasaka and upasaki seekers and mystic Zen accountants. And maybe you. See submission guidelines below. HUNDRED MOUNTAIN ACCEPTS submissions of many kinds. Submissions should be Buddhist-oriented or have a Buddhist spirit about them, but I play fast and loose with that definition, so try me out. I am currently looking for someone well-schooled in Buddhism to review newly published Buddhist-oriented titles. I am also on the hunt for some who can write a Buddhist-spirited humor column. I am also more generally on the hunt for: LEAD ARTICLES AND ESSAYS about weaving Buddhist practice and insight meditation into busy contemporary life; Profiles of teachers, authors, performers, interesting folks and monks and nuns (these can also be question-and-answer interviews) who have something useful to say about Buddhist practice, meditation and the spiritual path in contemporary times; First-person and participatory pieces about experiences with Buddhist practice, events, retreats, workshops teachers and meditation, and even rants and raves along the way of the spiritual path. BOOK, MOVIE, CD, INTERNET REVIEWS of Buddhist-oriented or Buddhist-spirited works, performances and events. SUBMISSIONS TO OUR EYEWITNESS COLUMN. You do not have to be an experienced writer --- or a writer at all --- to submit to Eyewitness, which features shorter first-person encounters with meditation, Buddhist teachings, retreat happenings, accounts of conversations, and revelations and the like. ADDITIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS to the Buddhascope, our ongoing collection of pop culture sightings of Buddhist lingo, and to Foundobjects, a collection of interesting, odd, enlightening Buddhist-flavored stuff stumbled upon in the world. HUMOROUS SUBMISSIONS. Humor pieces can be tongue-in-cheek, absurdist or playful about Buddhist teachings and meditation practice REPRINTS OF BUDDHIST-ORIENTED articles, essays, reviews and other work that you, the author, believe deserve a wider audience. And for which we can receive permission to republish. E-MAIL ALL SUBMISSIONS to: hundred@newwave.net Send it as an attached file saved in Microsoft Word, Wordperfect or Text format. As a back-up, copy and paste the submission into the body of your e-mail meswsage. E-mail me if you need help on these submission guidleines. Or send your submission via snail mail to: Hundred Mountain Media, 141 Hazelwood Place, Huntington, W.Va. 25705. With all submissions, include your telephone and e-mail address, plus a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you want a postal submission returned to you. PLEASE ALLOW UP TO 10 WEEKS to hear back from me as to whether your submission was accepted for publication. If you don't hear back, you can assume I am swamped, I can't use the piece or it got lost in the maelstrom of modern-day e-mailing and filing.
