Friends, lovers, ewoks,
Before you know it South by Southwest will be upon us, and Ice Cream Man will be upon Austin, giving away 15,000 free ice creams and 6,000 free copies of our fourth annual Off the Wookie magazine.
We’re now accepting your submissions for OTW4! The deadline for submissions is Monday, February 16.
OTW is our “super fun happy motivate manual for joy making.” Past stories include a DIY manual on making a bowl out of a 12″ vinyl record, inspiring tales of everyday heroes, a guide to the largest pinball machine collection in the world, an interview with the creator of Dinosaur Comics, the perfect recipe for Kool-Aid pickles, and Dave Gooch’s adventures in lazy man’s home brewing. You can get dig up some inspiration from previous issues of OTW at www.offthewookie.com.
All stories are fair game. Please send your articles, short stories, interview ideas, illustrations, comics, photojournals, and anything else you can think of along the lines of rallies, wookies, ice cream and fun to wookie@icecreamman.com.
Questions about guidelines and image attachments should go to wookie@icecreamman.com as well. If you have any doubts about your story ideas or need to run to run them by us before embarking on the creative process, just shoot over an e-mail- due to a high volume of submissions, not every story will make the print edition.
