Editor’s Notes for March 2001
Welcome to Pif's March Issue! As a part of our greater emphasis
on the many intersections of the arts and technology, we've
added a new column, called Arts and Technology News. In this,
you'll find up-to-the-minute news blurbs on all
technology-related happenings in music, film, literature, cyber art,
and other fine arts. Also, the focus of my "What to Read" column has
changed similarly. We plan to keep improvements to the electronic side
of Pif coming.
Looking forward, Pif needs more submissions with electronic elements
or counterparts. For instance:
- Email interviews with authors like George Bradley (his poetry
collection, Some Assembly Required, comes out in 08/01).
- Email interviews with music and film industry folks like the
musician David Bowie, 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.
- Essays that use 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! The deadline
is April 30, 2001. We're accepting submissions in fiction,
poetry, and cyber art and giving away $1000 in prizes. For more
information, go to

PS please don't forget to purchase a copy of our anthology,
The Best of Pif Magazine Off-line!
