Guest caveat_editor Posted October 30, 2002 Posted October 30, 2002 Hello, I recently submitted our online literary magazine to the following ODP category: http://dmoz.org/Arts/Online_Writing/E-zines/Mixed_Genre/C/ I also emailed the editors of its parent category to introduce myself and offer any other information about the site they might need. I hope this is a suitable submission, and appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks for your time. Sincerely, Adam Co-Editor Caveat Lector
uzs980 Posted October 30, 2002 Posted October 30, 2002 There is only one site waiting for review in that category, and that might be yours. (I can't look into the unreviewed queue as I do not have editing privileges in that part of the directory.) However I think the editor might move your submission to another category. See the submission guidelines for Arts/Online Wrting/E-zines and its subcategories: "If your zine is a paper zine with a website, [...] it should be submitted to the appropriate sub-category within the Literature category." So that would probably mean the appropiate place for your site is somewhere in the Arts/Literature/Magazines and E-zines area.
Guest caveat_editor Posted October 30, 2002 Posted October 30, 2002 Thanks - that might in fact be a better category for it. The reason I submitted to the e-zines subcat was that it was the only one with a "mixed genre" classification, which describes our publication well. But I certainly wouldn't turn down a listing in the Magazines category <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Meta theseeker Posted October 30, 2002 Meta Posted October 30, 2002 I did get a copy of your feedback and it's on my to do list. I try to make my way back into e-zines on a periodically basis, but have been short of time lately, so it's getting a little backlogged--not nearly as much as other areas though. If you do have a zine in print, then it does belong in the Literature cat. I'll try to take a look at that as soon as I can.
Guest caveat_editor Posted October 30, 2002 Posted October 30, 2002 Thanks, I really appreciate it. We do have a print edition (though most our readers come in through the site), so it sounds like Magazines would be more appropriate. If there's anything I need to do to revise my submission at this point, just let me know. You guys are doing a great job, by the way - I'm glad I discovered these forums.
Guest caveat_editor Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Greetings - just checking in again for any news about our submission (good or bad <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />) Since my last post I've also managed to get us listed at Go Guides and JoeAnt, and before that we had very good luck with Zeal. Hopefully the one and only DMOZ will be next!
uzs980 Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Good news! Your site is listed in Arts/Literature/Magazines and E-zines for more than a week now. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> However it doesn't show up in the search yet, which has not been updated yet.
totalxsive Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 It's good news - you're now listed in http://dmoz.org/Arts/Literature/Magazines_and_E-zines (as of October 31st, actually <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />). Congratulations <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />. [uzs980 beat me to it <img src="/images/icons/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> ]
Guest caveat_editor Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Woohoo!!! <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> That's wonderful - thanks for all your help. (I was looking for it via the search function, which I guess is why I wasn't finding it.)
