Dongxi: New Literary Magazine Looking for Contributors
The editors of
Dongxi, a new literary magazine serving readers
in China, are seeking contributors. They've asked for a shout on
Imagethief. This site doesn't normally take advertising. But, as
Imagethief is a supporter of the idea of literary magazines (although
he hasn't contributed to one since he was in university), he has
agreed, and will let them explain themselves in their own words:
New Magazine Seeks Submissions
Dongxi is a China-wide
magazine gratuitously publishing words, thoughts, ideas, lists,
letters, reviews, poems, translations, short stories, images, photos
and artwork.
Submissions must be sent by e-mail to dxzine@gmail.com.
Subscribing
is easy. E-mail us a postal address (and preferably a submission) and
all future issues will be sent upon publication. If at any time you are
not completely satisfied with Dongxi, you may cancel your subscription
anytime by e-mail.
Dongxi strives to represent the widest range
of of voices and opinions in China today, but contributions racist,
sexist, homophobic or overwhelmingly political in nature will be
subject to critical consideration by the editorial board.

Not sure about the use of the word "gratuitously" in their release, or
the biz model, but sounds like fun. Good luck guys. I look forward to
seeing the first issue.
Update:
Dongxi has informed me of an update in their payment policy:
We pay 50 RMB per poem, photograph or image, and 200-500 RMB per short story depending on the length.
Hey, considering that 100 RMB gets you a nice Sichuan dinner for 3 at some restaurants here in Beijing, seems reasonable to me.
