NEW DEVELOPMENTS: Starting now, we are expanding our web content and posting articles and writings year-round. This allows us to review submissions as they come in, so please send material whenever it's ready. For the print Annual, we'll combine new materials with select pieces from our online postings. A second yearly CQ offering, a mini-publication (a.k.a. chapbook, from 16 to 32 pp.), will come out mid-year (starting in 2010).

HELP US BROADEN OUR OUTREACH for CQ material: CURATE an article. Document the work of teachers, colleagues, students, and collaborators whose work excites, challenges, informs, and/or inspires you. Record WHAT’S HAPPENING around you in the field of dance, improvisation, and performance. Interview someone; take notes at a workshop; review a performance; write short snapshots/portraits of people, events, situations. Call or email us for encouragement, suggestions, specifications, and other details.

Not up for making an article but have something to say? Write a LETTER. We love getting mail from you and review all of our mail for possible publication. If you don’t want your correspondence printed, please let us know.

Send all material to :
CQ, P.O. Box 603, Northampton, MA 01061 USA
submissions@contactquarterly.com

See Submission Guide following for specifications on submitted material.

CONTACT QUARTERLY submission guide

CQ welcomes your written and graphic contributions. Material that is succinct, requires little editing, and is accompanied by interesting graphics will be given first consideration. Please be patient while waiting for a reply; we review submissions two times a year.

Written Material

• Printed out or via email to submissions@contactquarterly.com.
  
• Include title, subtitle, byline, a short contributor note, and complete contact information for the author.
  
• Keep a copy of your manuscript—CQ will not return written material.
  
• Photos and graphics to accompany articles are strongly encouraged.
  
• Please get permission to reprint any copyrighted material before you send it.
  
• Let us know if your piece has been posted on the web, published, or submitted elsewhere.

Graphic Material

• Photos: We are always looking for good dance pictures. Black and white photos of good contrast work best. Type caption, photo credit, and names of people on separate sheet and attach to back of photo. For electronic images, please send compressed black & white 300 dpi .tiffs or .jpegs, with captions and credits, in an email to submissions@contactquarterly.com, or mail a CD to the address above. Set digital cameras to highest dpi setting before shooting (300 dpi max), and save images at a minimum of 10 inches wide. If you only have 72 dpi resolution, please save your file as large as possible inches-wise (25 inches wide minimum). If sending more than five images, please send in separate emails or on a CD to CQ's P.O. box.
• Drawings: Black ink on white paper is best. Include captions and credits. Send or scan at 600 dpi.
