Editor’s Notes for January 2001

Welcome to Pif’s first issue of 2001! As a part of our mission to be "The Arts and Technology Magazine," beginning this month, Pif is publishing electronic versions of its fiction and poetry, in addition to print versions of the pieces. In other words, you can listen to Liam Rector read his work aloud in addition to reading his original work in print!

Also, Pif has invited the cyber artist Ted Warnell to do a series of twelve cover pieces during the year 2001. For a preview of what’s to come, check out past covers he’s done for Pif in August and November 2000. Also, view his currently featured, "Book of Job," at the Iowa Review.

Pif is planning several great issues for the year 2001. We’re looking for text pieces with electronic elements or counterparts. For instance:

• Interviews with authors like Don Dellillo (Body Artist: A Novel comes out in 02/01) and Erika Krouse (Come Up and See Me Sometime comes out in 05/01).
• Interviews with music and film industry folks like the musician Wyclef Jean, the band Pink Martini, the director Michael Apted, or the actor Hope Davis.
• Unusual cyber art, particularly digital photography and hypertext. Work that does not easily fit into a single genre is encouraged.
• Commentary that uses hyperlinks, audio (DAT recordings), or video.

For details on how to submit, see our Submissions Page.

And don’t forget about Pif’s Annual Contest! We’re accepting submissions in fiction, poetry, and cyberart and giving away $500 in prizes. For more information, go to http://www.pifmagazine.com/contest.
