Webzine
Some of our regular writers and contributors are pleased to present our latest project, a creative collaboration between myself and Esther Archer. Our vision was to bring about a FREE web-based publication all about costume dramas. It started out with a couple of submissions and rapidly expanded into a 40-page webzine that comes out 6 times a year. If you are new to our publication, feel free to nose around, take a look at some of the fantastic issues we have for you to nab and read, and then pass the word along to your friends! The Costume Chronicles is the coolest thing you have ever read!
Current Issue
January
/ February 2010: Women of the Aristocracy

some of the most magnificent women in recent and distant history, in a
collection of fourteen fully illustrated articles on some women you might know

Submission Guidelines
General Submissions may include anything pertaining to the theme for the next issue. Book reviews, comparisons between different film adaptations, articles on the time period, fashion during that era, or popular individuals in history, etc. Use your imagination and send us something fun!
Make it original. We don't want all our submissions to be the “same sort” of thing. Be creative! Don't worry about being too serious, or not serious enough. Have fun with it!
Personal preferences. Some of our authors are religious, others are not. We respect and welcome all types of submissions but ask that our writers keep them appropriate for all ages.
Length of submissions: we prefer between 600 and 1,2000 words but longer articles are always welcome.
Where to send it: please submit all articles in Word document format (if you don't have Word, contact us for other options) to costumechronicles at gmail dot com. And please let us know in advance if you want to tackle a specific book, film, or topic so we don't have repeat submissions on the same material.
